Kyrie Irving accidentally hits kid with ball at Celtics vs. Mavericks game – Sports Illustrated

Attending any live sporting event is exciting, especially if you are lucky enough to get seats right next to the action.

While this gives you a better view of the action, sometimes it can be too close, as one kid learned during the Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks game.

In the second quarter, guard Kyrie Irving threw a pass that completely missed his target. Unfortunately, it crashed right into the face of a child sitting in the front row.

Multiple people checked out the kid, including the Mavericks coaching staff and Irving.

Fortunately, the child seemed fine and continued to enjoy the game.
