Celtics' Kyrie Irving concerned about safety of Bucks' 'Return to MECCA' replica floor

MILWAUKEE -- Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving expressed concern about the throwback court the team will play on Thursday night when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.

The Bucks are hosting a "Return to the MECCA" night, referencing the former name of the arena, where the team played from 1977-1988. The Bucks went so far as to have a court painted in the bright multi-color fashion of the original Robert Indiana-designed floor.

Irving seemed a bit concerned after walking across the court before Boston's morning shootaround on Thursday.
