Watch: Kyrie Irving leaves game with knee injury
This is about the last thing the Boston Celtics needed.
Kyrie Irving left Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers after tweaking his knee late in the second quarter. Reporter Chris Forsberg believes Irving hurt his knee on a play where he cut to try and contest a shot.

The Celtics later announced that Irving suffered a sprained right knee and would be out the rest of the game.
Irving had 14 points in 14 minutes in the game for the 35-20 Celtics. With Toronto, Milwaukee and Philadelphia all making big additions at the trade deadline, the last thing the Celtics need is an injury to a key player.
