Kyrie Irving will seek a second opinion on his problematic knee, according to multiple reports.
Tony Massarotti of 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston reported on Tuesday that Irving is getting a second opinion on his left knee because it has been flaring up.
My understanding is that Kyrie Irving is getting a 2nd opinion on his left knee, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. Bottom line: he needs the screws out. Knee is flaring up. He will either play thru it going forward or … he will get thee screws out and won't play at all. Stay tuned.

Yahoo’s Shams Charania says he will go for a second opinion later in the week.
Irving has missed Boston’s last three games because of his left knee. He has missed four games total this month, but the good news is an MRI came back clean this month, and he reportedly just has tendonitis.
Celtics GM Danny Ainge has said that the left knee issue is just something Irving will have to manage the rest of his career.
