Kyrie Irving played only nine minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday afternoon after being yanked out of the contest early in the first half due to what was initially reported to be flu-like symptoms. However, the real reason for his exit was later revealed as totally different.
In a recent article, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reported that Irving’s problems were actually caused by, of all things, bed bugs.
Kyrie Irving said it wasn’t a stomach bug that caused him to miss most of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.
It was actually a bout with bed bugs from the night before.
A spokesperson for the Skirvin confirmed to ESPN.com that there were indeed bed bugs found in Irving’s room.
In this Fox Sports Ohio video, Irving shared a bit of what went through his head upon seeing his mystery roommates.
Well, a pest control company attempted to seize the opportunity by reaching out to Irving to apologize for his experience and also to offer their services moving forward.

Funny move by Terminix. I wonder if Kyrie got back to them on their offer.
