J.R. Smith suggests that Kyrie Irving did not communicate with Cleveland Cavaliers teammates ahead of a 2016 championship reunion. According to the reports, Smith said Irving “ghosted” his former teammates, implying that Irving avoided contact leading up to the event. The articles also note Irving’s role in Cleveland’s 2016 title run, when he hit a key shot that helped secure the championship, serving as background for the comments. The reports present Smith’s remarks as an account of how Irving allegedly handled communication around the reunion rather than offering additional details such as what specifically happened, whether any message attempts were made, or whether Irving responded. Both sources describe the claim in similar terms and do not provide independent verification beyond Smith’s perspective. Overall, the information centers on Smith’s allegation that Irving avoided contact, contrasted with Irving’s well-known contribution to Cleveland’s championship season.
