Kyrie Irving

Boston Celtics president Danny Ainge is officially good at Twitter. Kyrie Irving dropped 47 points and six assists on a ridiculous 16-of-22 shooting in an overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks Monday night. The game itself was, on some levels, a little unsettling. The Mavericks are the worst team in the NBA. The Celtics have [...]

I will be the first to admit, I thought Kyrie Irving was in for a rude awakening in his post-LeBron world after his divorce with the Cavaliers this summer. As of November 21, I couldn’t be more wrong. Irving looks every bit the role of mega star that can carry a team to championship contention [...]

Kyrie Irving and Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens aren’t having any problems adjusting to one another. On the contrary, when asked about his relationship with the clipboard sage, specifically in late-game situations, Irving could only talk about how easy it has been for the two of them to forge chemistry, per the Boston Globe (via [...]

Kyrie Irving’s first game while wearing a protective mask this season went pretty well.

Though he wasn’t especially [...]

Kyrie Irving suffered a facial fracture in the first quarter of the Boston Celtics’ Friday night victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

Kyrie Irving has a confession to make: He likes all of his Boston Celtics teammates, and he has for a long time. Per ESPN.com’s Chris Forsberg: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNForsberg/status/925196282590789633] Irving’s comments came after a 108-94 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, and they’re easy to take out of context. Is he trying to [...]

Kyrie Irving isn’t going to be happy this article and headline exist. He doesn’t want them to exist. He made that quite clear following the Boston Celtics’ victory over the New York Knicks. Asked whether The Big Apple was, indeed, on his list of preferred trade destinations over the summer, Irving admitted it was, but [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers planned to play a Kyrie Irving tribute video on opening night, when the point guard visited Quicken Loans Arena for the first time as an opponent. They never did. And why not? Well, that much is up for debate. Here’s one potential reason, per Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon: According to team spokesman Tad [...]

Stop asking Kyrie Irving about why he wanted a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Because he isn’t saying jack shit. As he told reporters ahead of the Boston Celtics’ opening-night clash in Cleveland, per The Athletic’s Jason Lloyd: [tweet https://twitter.com/JasonLloydNBA/status/920315316047155200] Irving is well within his right as a human being—and very real grown-up—to continue deflecting [...]
