Kyrie Irving is being accompanied by a special guest as he enters the lion’s den on Monday night.
Per ESPN, the All-Star guard arrived at TD Garden holding hands with his daughter ahead of Dallas’ do-or-die game where he and his team will attempt to extend the series once again after winning their last one by 38 points.
Fans reacted to the adorable clip on social media:
“I bet he’s such a good dad. Just seems like it from my point of view,” a user said.
“Some wholesome content,” another applauded.
“Cute. But it ends tonight,” a fan tweeted. “Sorry not sorry.”
“Kyrie needs to turn into Uncle Drew tonight for Mavericks to get a win.”
“Love this type of content!!” another person replied.

Irving is coming off two of his better individual performances over the last couple games and appears to be finding his shot.
The Mavs are going to need Kyrie at his best if they’re going to have any chance of forcing the series back to American Airlines Arena.
Boston’s home floor has been a challenge for Irving ever since he left the team back in 2019. If he can exorcise some demons, it’s possible Dallas could pull off something historic in these Finals.
