The Celtics were facing off against the Pelicans in New Orleans tonight and played without Kyrie Irving. When asked before the game, Brad Stevens said that he thought Kyrie could have gone tonight had the situation called for it, but they’ll wait until he’s 100% ready to put all of his weight back on his ailing left knee. Stevens also stated that Jaylen no longer had a headache and would be moving forward in the concussion protocol the NBA has established, which is equally as promising and a real relief for Jaylen.
Unfortunately, tonight the Celtics had no answer for Anthony Davis’ dominant offense (34 points).
