Celtics' Kyrie Irving (knee) will miss third straight game Sunday
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) will not play Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Irving will sit out his third straight and fourth game out of the Celtics' last six on Sunday. In his place, Terry Rozier should continue to see minutes in the 30s, while Shane Larkin will pick up the backup minutes at point guard. A host of other Celtics will see their usage go up as well.
Irving is averaging 37.8 FanDuel points per game this season.
