Kyrie Irving (load management) won’t play tonight in Boston Celtics vs. Cavaliers

No, Kyrie Irving is not hurt, he just so happens to be one of the latest NBA stars to sit out of a game in order to rest- I mean for load management… This should come as no surprise as Irving has previously stated that he would be taking a few games off towards the end of the season to physically and mentally prepare for the playoffs, which I’m sure we all can agree on.

Irving, via Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston:

“I’m definitely taking some games off before the playoffs,” Irving said at Boston’s morning shootaround at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday.
