Nets superstar Kyrie Irving is sitting out Sunday’s game against the Knicks to mourn the death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant.

Irving left Madison Square Garden after learning the 41-year-old Bryant was killed in a private helicopter crash earlier in the day, according to multiple reports.

One of Bryant’s four daughters, 13-year-old Gianna, also was killed. Another parent and child also died, as the four were traveling to a basketball facility in California.

There were no survivors in the crash, which occurred amid foggy conditions.

Irving reportedly was close with Bryant.
