Kyrie Irving will miss Friday's game against the Boston Celtics in Brooklyn, the Nets announced Thursday, the eighth game Irving has missed due to a right shoulder impingement.
Irving did not make the Nets' most recent road-trip, including a game in Boston on Wednesday night. His absence was noted by fans in TD Garden, who booed and sported signs denouncing the former Celtics star.
"It happens all the time and Tonight just shows how Sports/Entertainment will always be ignorant and obtrusive," Irving said at the start of a lengthy post via an Instagram story after Wednesday's game.
