Facial fracture for Kyrie Irving Celtic's Player

Facial fracture for Kyrie Irving Celtic's Player

New blow for the Celtics. Already hit early this season by the injuries of Gordon Hayward and Al Horford, Boston will have to do without Kyrie Irving Sunday against Toronto. After receiving the elbow of Aron Baynes after just over a minute of play against Charlotte, the leader of Boston had to leave the field with the face in blood. Brad Stevens said at the end of the meeting that Kyrie Irving was not suffering from a concussion even though the medical staff was obviously going to watch for the slightest symptom in the hours that followed, as was the case with his teammate Al Horford whose symptoms had appeared only the next day. 

So for now the concoction protocol has not been implemented but it seems however that the player has suffered a fracture in the face. As a result, he is expected to be out on Sunday for the game against Toronto and then wear a mask for two weeks. As a reminder, Irving has had to wear such a mask on two occasions in the past. The first time in December 2012 (jaw) and the second in November 2013 (nose).

The leader of Boston should miss the meeting on Sunday and wear a mask for two weeks.
