Celtics star point guard Kyrie Irving is expected to miss between three and six weeks after he underwent surgery to remove a tension wire from his left knee, according to ESPN's Chris Forsberg.
Irving, who has not played 24.4 points, 5.1 assists and 3.8 rebounds, has not played since March 11 and it appears he had the procedure on Saturday.
The procedure all but guarantees that Irving will mess the rest of the regular season, which ends on April 11. The first round of the playoffs begins April 14, which is three weeks to the day from Saturday.
