Kyrie Irving won't be out for long, will play with mask

Kyrie Irving missed Sunday's nail biter over the Toronto Raptors with a facial fracture he endured from an errant Aron Baynes elbow in Friday night's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. The first whispers after Friday's game were that Irving could miss extensive time and that he may have suffered in a concussion along with his fracture, but coach Brad Stevens has said that as of yesterday afternoon there were no indications the Kyrie suffered a concussion at all. Via Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe:

“We’ll keep monitoring for symptoms of [a concussion],” Stevens said.
