Kyrie Irving - Knee Sprain - Day to Day
Kyrie Irving recently left the court injured during the Celtics home game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Irving left the game with Boston up by 28 points, however, without their star playmaker, the Celtics fell to a 123-112 defeat.
The Celtics immediately confirmed that the 26-year-old had sprained his knee, and this led to concerns that Irving could miss a number of games due to recurring knee problems. Nevertheless, the injured knee is not the one Irving had surgery on last year, and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski has provided a positive update:
Kyrie Irving’s right knee sprain isn’t serious and expected to be day-to-day on a return, league source tells ESPN.
The Celtics next play the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, which will be a huge matchup against two of the East's best teams. Nevertheless, if Irving is not risked, he could return against the Detroit Pistons a day later.
Guess the Lakers players!
