Nets seem to avoid Kyrie Irving injury disaster
NY Post
Kyrie Irving missed Wednesday’s game against San Antonio with a facial contusion, but the injury isn’t expected to be serious and the Nets are hopeful of having the All-Star point guard back by the weekend.
“Kyrie’s scans were clear fortunately,” coach Steve Nash said. “No concussion, nothing on the scans. Just precautionary. Not gonna go [vs. the Spurs].” Irving suffered the injury taking an elbow to the face from Nikola Vucevic during the third quarter of Tuesday’s victory in Chicago. He’s expected to be fit for this weekend’s back-to-back against the Bulls and Cavaliers, potentially letting him get some much-needed time on court with Kevin Durant and James Harden.More Related News
