MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving missed the second half of Game 4 of his team’s second-round playoff series with the Milwaukee Bucks after spraining his ankle midway through the second quarter. Irving left the game and headed to the locker room with 5:52 left in the period, leaving Brooklyn without two of its superstars. On his way down, Irving’s left leg appeared to hit Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo’s right leg before the Nets guard landed. When the game eventually stopped on a change of possession, Nets team officials checked on Irving before he headed to the locker room. Irving had 11 points, five rebounds and two assists when the seven-time All-Star left the game with the Nets trailing 44-40.
