Jason Kidd challenged the notion that the workload led to Irving's injury with a long pre-game rant before Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, and it seems that Kyrie Irving is doing the same with a post on his Instagram story.

Hardy, who suffered a right ankle sprain in Monday's 122-98 loss to the Kings, will be sidelined for "a period of time," according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.

Kyrie Irving tore the ACL in his left knee, a source close to Irving confirmed, an unfortunate ending to the nine-time All-Star’s 14th NBA season. Irving, who turns 33 on March 23, was having a strong season before this injury. He was averaging 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists.

The Mavericks’ list of injured players grew even larger against the Kings, with Hardy exiting the game in the third quarter with what the team announced was a right ankle sprain. He didn’t return to action on Monday.

The Dallas Mavericks could possibly have to forfeit a game if every player on their injury report misses Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. That's how insane these last six-to-seven weeks have been for the Mavs,
