Coach Jason Kidd, addressing the media with visible emotion, said:
> โKyrie is one of the most gifted players Iโve ever had the honor to coach. This was unexpected. We respect his decision, but this is a tough one for the entire team.โ
Irving, known not only for his dazzling skills on the court but also for his strong individual beliefs and advocacy for mental, social, and spiritual well-being, did not elaborate further in his statement, but assured fans that โthis isnโt goodbye, just a new beginning.โ
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver also responded to the news:
> โKyrie has always followed his own path. While weโll miss his presence in the league, we support his decision to step away if it brings him peace and fulfillment.โ
