Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving will miss Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves due to right eye irritation.
Irving’s eye was scraped by Spurs guard Marco Belinelli in the fourth quarter of Boston’s loss to San Antonio on Monday night. On Tuesday night, Irving was listed as questionable.
The Celtics will also be without Aron Baynes (hand) and Robert Williams (groin), but they will hardly be facing a full-strength Minnesota team. The Timberwolves are expected to be without three of their top six rotation players, with point guard Jeff Teague, forward Robert Covington, and guard Derrick Rose all dealing with ankle injuries.
