In his speech to reporters, Irving told reporters, "I participate in Ramadan with a lot of my Muslim brothers and sisters, it is a commitment to my duty to God, I am happy to be part of my community and do the right things. So fasting is definitely a part of it, I am really lucky and grateful to be involved in that."
