Celtics' Kyrie Irving diagnosed with minor facial fracture
Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving suffered a minor facial fracture in Friday night's contest.
What It Means:
Fortunately, Irving didn't suffer a concussion when he was hit by an Aron Baynes elbow early in the first quarter last night. However, he is considered doubtful to play in Sunday's game and could be considered day-to-day. There's a possibility that he'll return with a mask depending on where the fracture is. Until he makes his way back, though, Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier will be asked to hold down the fort at the point.
Irving was projected for 25.2 points, 6.2 assists and a total of 41.4 FanDuel points in Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
