Kyrie Irving Scratches Left Eye In Celtics Loss 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jan 1, 2019 6:15 am

Kyrie Irving suffered a left cornea scratch in the fourth quarter of the Boston Celtics 120-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. 


Irving sustained the injury after Marco Belinelli swiped at the ball and caught him in the face. Irving briefly left play, but came back to finish the game. 


When asked about the pain, Irving said "I'm wearing sunglasses, so not too good. I'll be all right, though. [He] smacked the s--- out of me. He just caught me pretty good." 


Brad Stevens didn't know if Irving would miss any time, saying "he'll have antibiotics for that. I don't know what that means beyond tonight."
