We all knew Kyrie Irving’s return to Boston — and the ire of Celtics fans’ ire — was going to be wild. Now, it’s going to be even wilder after Irving added fuel to the fire. In comments post-game, he said he knows what to expect Friday night but was hoping for the best.
It will be the first time Irving will face Boston fans since he left for the Nets as part of the Clean Sweep in June 2019.
“It’s not my first time being an opponent in Boston. So, I am just looking forward to competing with my teammates and hopefully, we can just keep it strictly basketball,” Irving said.
