BOSTON – A bitter taste of unfulfillment still lingers inside Kyrie Irving’s mouth after his inaugural season with the Boston Celtics was cut short by season-ending knee surgery. It’s a taste that the All-Star point guard hopes to soon spit out.
Speaking Tuesday afternoon at a press event in Boston for the upcoming premiere of his film "Uncle Drew," Irving expressed a desire to make up for the lost opportunity of the 2017-18 season. In 2018-19, he plans to take the Celtics to new heights, and he wants to be there with them on the court for the entire ride.
