NBA" being treated as a platter? The biggest star just announced before the game that he would not play, and Chinese fans were furious

The Rockets and Mavericks went to Macau to play an overseas warm-up match, but Mavericks star Kyrie Irving rested in the first game, which made many Chinese fans angry.

Mavericks head coach Dusty May announced at the pre-game press conference that Irving will not play today and is expected to play in Game 2 the day after tomorrow.

As soon as the news of Irving's absence came out, many Chinese fans started complaining on Weibo: "What the hell if you don't play?", "People buy tickets for 2,000 or 3,000 to watch the stars, why don't they play?", "You've already bought the tickets and you said you won't play", "You came all the way to not play?", "Even if you don't play, why don't you tell me in advance?"

Irving was injured against the Kings in March last year and was later diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He was reimbursed for the entire last season and is expected to make his comeback debut the day after tomorrow. Irving is now 34 years old. He has been selected to the All-Star Game nine times in his career and was selected to the annual team three times.

The Rockets defeated the Mavericks 135:117 today. Kevin Durant scored 15 points in 23 minutes, and Alperen Sengun contributed 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.
