Kyrie Irving suffered a scary-looking knee injury in the fourth quarter of the Brooklyn Nets' Saturday game against the Washington Wizards. Fortunately, the Nets revealed on Sunday that the injury to their star point guard was a sprain and not a complete tear.

The 27-year-old star took to Instagram to update fans on his injury.

“I appreciate everyone reaching out!” Irving wrote. “I'll be okay after last night's tweak with my knee. Honestly, what a scare, but I know God and the angels definitely looked out for me on that one! The Marathon Continues though, gotta keep the same focus and determination to get back out there when I'm Healthy! What a week of Challenges, but I trust in the Divine Purpose of life!”

Injuries have already hindered Irving's season and it seems that Saturday's injury will force the Nets star to miss even more time. Irving missed 26-straight games earlier in the season from November to January.
