Kyrie Irving out tomorrow against Cavaliers

March 25, 2019March 25, 2019 Brandon King

According to Jay King of the Athletic, Boston Celtics star point guard Kyrie Irving will miss the team’s game Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers for , the annoyingly increasing used term, “load management.” His colleague at The Athletic, Joe Vardon, had an interesting take observation on Irving’s absence tomorrow. Jayson Tatum and Al Horford are listed as questionable, while Robert Williams is doubtful. Playing the Cavaliers , even sans Kyrie could help the Celtics get back in the win column.

Kyrie Irving out against Kings with thigh contusion

March 6, 2019March 6, 2019 Brandon King

Kyrie Irving will not be in the lineup when the Boston Celtics take on the Sacramento Kings Wednesday night. The team made the announcement earlier this afternoon that the star point guard is suffering from a left thigh contusion. Though the Celtics will miss the 23.4 points and 7.0 assists per game that Irving provides, the young core and other Celtics have stepped up in Kyrie’s absence this year, going 9-2 without Irving, but we are no way suggesting the Celtics, at least this season, are better off without their…

Kyrie open to rejoining Lebron James?

January 29, 2019January 29, 2019 Brandon King

The tearing asunder of the Kyrie , Lebron, Kevin Love triumvirate is well-known, although the exact reasons are not. Since Kyrie went easy to Boston, the two have occasionally trade thinly veiled ( and not so thinly-veiled) barbs at each other. The way things ended it would seem like the last thing one could expect to see was, outside of all-star or international play, the two of them running on the same team again and the two of the would want to keep it that way. Right? Well according to…
