Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving could miss more than just Wednesday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, coach Brad Stevens said on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Zolak and Bertrand” Wednesday afternoon.
Irving, who was initially listed as questionable against the Timberwolves, was downgraded to out due to lingering effects from an eye injury suffered in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs. The 26-year-old visited the locker room for about four minutes after Spurs shooting guard Marco Belinelli scraped his eye while fighting for a rebound.
“He got swiped across the face,” Stevens said Wednesday.
