The Sports Hub’s Tony Massarotti was the 1st to report the news. I’d use one of his tweets but I’m blocked. (Turns out he’s sensitive to anyone critical of the fact he annoying laughs at his own jokes). I listened intently to the report as I was stuck in the usual crappy traffic on Route 3.

Mazz says the screws needed to repair Irving’s fracture knee cap in 2015 are causing pain and surgery to remove those screws will end Kyrie’s season.
