On March 18, at the American Professional Basketball Tournament (NBA), Irving shined with a two-point basket in the final seconds, helping the Dallas Mavericks overcome the defending champion Denver Nuggets with a score of 107-105. .
After the match, Irving revealed that he did not eat or drink anything even though he had to play professionally. “Ramadan is a special month, a special moment”, DW quoted the Dallas Mavericks star saying after the win over Denver. “I try not to think too much about it (hunger) and focus on competing, as well as my journey with God”.
The star of the American basketball team further revealed: “Everything is really difficult. To play 48 minutes without eating or drinking anything is like a miracle”.
Irving is one of the best basketball players in the NBA over the past decade. He is expected to help the American men’s basketball team successfully defend the gold medal at the Paris Olympics this summer.
Ramadan in 2024 takes place from March 11 to April 10. During this time, Muslims are not allowed to eat or drink before sunset.
In sports, this greatly affects the physical condition of players because they lack the necessary nutrition to support matches that consume a lot of energy.
The fact that many NBA players or soccer stars fast during Ramadan has become a controversial topic. Many top coaches or teams in Europe do not want players to completely fast during the preparation period for the match.
The Premier League and several top leagues offer flexible solutions to adapt to Ramadan. Referees are encouraged to pause the match to help Muslim players recharge with fast food on the field.
