Still, Irving was not happy about the signs and, early in the first quarter, made a comment about them. Rabbi Zippel and the other rabbis were then asked by arena staff to put the signs away, a request that Rabbi Zippel described as confusing and upsetting. “The question is whether there is a written policy that says in courtside seats there can be no signage. And if there is, does anyone know where that policy is listed?” he said.

A rabbi says the Utah Jazz made him put down his “I’m a Jew and I’m proud” sign during Monday’s game vs. the Mavericks after Kyrie Irving complained. The Jazz say he “created a distraction and interfered with play of game.” sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 8:19 PM

Mavericks-Jazz takeaways: Irving’s return was good. Jazz’s defense was better as Mavericks absorbed worst loss of season.

Typical of this season: On the night Irving returns from a right heel contusion, Exum leaves the game — with a right heel contusion. – 10:05 PM

Interesting factoid: The Utah Jazz are 11-0 this season when leading at halftime. They are up 62-55 at the break against the Mavericks, who have 15-5-7 from Luka and 9-5-3 from Irving. Jazz got 16 points from Fontecchio. – 10:04 PM

To the untrained eye, Kyrie Irving looks terrific. He’s slicing and dicing to the basket. Hasn’t shot a three-pointer yet, but has 6-3-3 with 3:30 left in the half. – 9:55 PM

For Mavs at Jazz tomorrow night, Kyrie Irving has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable. He’s missed 12 games with a right heel contusion. Dante Exum is on the injury list as well. Thought he landed awkwardly on a drive for a key basket that put Dallas up 8 late last night. pic.twitter.com/pLKrbWN0QR – 8:59 PM

More on this storyline
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, the Utah Jazz organization said that fans are asked to remove signs when the signs become a disruption. “The Utah Jazz Code of Conduct is in place so that games can be played without distraction and disruption. No matter where someone is in the arena, if a sign becomes distracting or sparks an interaction with a player, we will ask them to remove it,” the statement said. -via deseret.com / January 2, 2024
Irving had missed 12 games with the right heel injury that he suffered at the Dec. 8 game in Portland. The Mavericks went 6-6 in the games Irving missed. He said the simple things that come with healthy feet were the ones that made the injury so confounding. “Not being able to put both of my shoes on for 10 days, 12 days,” he said. “It’s an adjustment once you have that kind of injury. It was unique. I wasn’t sure how long I was going to be out. There was no structural damage. But it was achy and you realize the injury is a lot more significant when you can’t get your other shoe on.” -via mavs.com / January 2, 2024
The Celtics had ample potential to succeed with All Star-caliber players in Hayward and Kyrie Irving, along with emerging talents in Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier. Despite a seemingly stacked roster, Boston fell short in the second round of the playoffs to the Milwaukee Bucks. Making an appearance on Podcast P with Paul George, Hayward said he believes the team got in its own way. “In my eyes it was just, we all had too many agendas, and the agenda to win the whole thing was not the main one,” Hayward said. “Not to blame anyone either, because I think it was all human nature.” -via Bleacher Report / January 2, 2024
