Kyrie Irving says he will be ready for Celtics training camp following a long rehabilitation process for his knee infection, according to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk.
Irving revealed that the infection in his left knee could have developed into a staph infection. He underwent season-ending surgery in April to remove two screws from his knee. The screws were placed in Irving's knee during a 2015 surgery after he suffered a fracture during the NBA Finals.
Doctors found bacteria in the screws and tension wire in March.
"It could have evolved to staph, but good thing we caught it early," Irving said.
