An MRI on Kyrie Irving’s right knee Sunday morning confirmed that he suffered a medial ligament sprain. The Nets’ star guard will be re-evaluated in a week.
It says something about Irving’s spotty health history and Brooklyn’s injury-riddled season that having the star point guard miss a week – at least – is considered good news and the best possible outcome. But that’s where the Nets are.
Irving suffered what the Nets staff diagnosed as a right knee sprain with 5:31 left in Saturday’s loss at Washington. Now after dealing with a lengthy shoulder impingement, and then the passing of friend Kobe Bryant, he was back in New York getting examined again.
