SAN FRANCISCO — Kyrie Irving fielded questions from reporters Saturday afternoon during the NBA’s All-Star Media Day. Here’s a brief transcript of what the Dallas Mavericks star said. Irving’s answers have been lightly edited for length and clarity.

After Dallas Mavericks All-Star Kyrie Irving suggested the NBA shorten its regular season, he's not opposed to a new event at All-Star Weekend. When Fox One reporter Rachel Nichols asked Irving if he'd be open to seeing the association have a 1-on-1 tournament, he wasn't opposed to the idea.

After initially getting snubbed for the NBA All-Star Game, Kyrie Irving has now been tabbed as a replacement. The West Orange, N.J. native was selected by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to replace his injured Dallas Mavericks’ teammate Anthony Davis in Sunday night’s game at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
