The Memphis Grizzlies fans can now overlook the back-to-back controversies involving their star player, Ja Morant, and cheer for the side. Grizzlies centerpiece Ja Morant has returned to the side and would be in contention to play against the Houston Rockets. Moreover, the recent game against the Mavericks has added to the joy of the Grizzlies supporters as the side emerged triumphant in the clash. However, a strange incident that occurred after the game caught the attention of the supporters.

Despite back-to-back rifts with other NBA stars, the Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks has been enjoying his fair share of last laughs on the court. Surprisingly, after winning the game against the Mavericks, Brooks decided to have a cordial moment with the Mavericks star Kyrie Irving.

Kyrie Irving and Dillon Brooks share a moment

Contradicting his recent conduct, Dillon Brooks decided to share a friendly moment with his opponent Kyrie Irving. After the game, he went to the 30-year-old to swap jerseys. The former NBA champion cordially gave his jersey to the Grizzlies forward. However, he did not complete the swap. The Mavs star refused to take Brooks’ jersey and walked away, leaving the 27-year-old baffled.

Commenting on the hilarious jersey swap episode, Kyrie Irving said, “Yeah I saw it after the game, I’ll probably get it next time. I was really on to the next thing, my thought process was so.” However, it seems like Brooks has taken this on the chin. He said he will still sign Irving’s jersey himself and put it on his wall.

In response to the incident, fans flooded comments with their takes. Here are some reactions. “If Kyrie REALLY didn’t know and was “moving on to the next thing,” he would have apologized. Kyrie just didn’t want that trash.” “Kyrie be like: “I aint grabbin that shit”

.”  “Kyrie said “I got plenty of toilet paper at home.”

”  “I mean Kyrie probably has Kobe Lebron n KD on his wall, Dillon Brooks jersey would look extremely outta place on that wall lol.”

“I’m not even a Kyrie fan, but why would he swap jerseys with someone that’s looking to start beef with everyone?!

” 

Dillon Brooks is having a tough time

Lately, the Grizzlies forward has often found himself in turbulent waters. Earlier, Brooks threw jibes at the Warriors star Draymond Green in an interview. Subsequently, Dray took to social media and battered Dillon Brooks on his podcast. Moreover, Brooks has also locked horns with Klay Thompson of the Warriors. Shortly before the game against the Warriors ended, the former yelled “You suck” at Thompson, who was on the bench.

Apart from the beef with the Warriors stars, Brooks garnered further ill repute after he pushed away a cameraman during the game against the Miami Heat. Given Brooks’ recent conduct, his encounter with Kyrie Irving was a breath of fresh air. However, his seemingly nice gesture has backfired on the Grizzlies star as he continues to be the butt of jokes.
