Kyrie Irving refutes a recent report that he told the Cleveland Cavaliers he would sit out this season to have minor knee surgery if he weren’t traded.
“It’s not true,” Irving told reporters Friday in San Francisco, where the Celtics practiced ahead of Saturday’s game against the Golden State Warriors.
“It’s kind of crazy the amount of things that are still coming out, that are still trying to be relevant,” he said. “I guess that’s part of being in the NBA and all the media scrutiny and everything that goes with it.”
