Kyrie Irving downgraded to out (eye) vs Timberwolves

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving has been downgraded to out for Wednesday’s matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Irving was previously listed as questionable with a right eye irritation.

Irving injured his right eye in the Celtics loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. Marco Belinelli swiped at a loose ball in the fourth quarter and caught the all-star point guard across the eye. Irving did return to the game and said that he would be alright during his postgame press conference.

Brad Stevens said that Irving would be given antibiotics as part of his treatment.
