Charania: Brooklyn's Kyrie Irving (shoulder) reportedly 'likely to undergo procedure', will 'miss extended period of time'
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) "is likely to undergo procedure on his right shoulder and miss extended period of time."
What It Means:
According to Charania, Irving is likely to miss additional time after re-aggravating his shoulder injury that sidelined the Brooklyn guard earlier this season. Expect a return timeline once Irving officially decides what to do about his shoulder.
Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert should see huge boosts in usage and playing time while Irving is sidelined.
