Ankle breaker, flat-earth advocate and serial troll Kyrie Irving will miss the NBA playoffs this year, after the Boston Celtics confirmed the All-Star will undergo a “minimally invasive procedure” that will put him on the sidelines for 4-5 months.

 

 

The hardest thing to do sometimes is accept the uncontrollable things life throws at you. You try consistently to learn, grow, and prepare everyday to equip your mind, body, and spirit with tools to deal with some of those things, but I feel when those moments arise they all give you a sense of unfulfillment, simply because it puts some of your professional journey and goals on a brief hold. It’s simply a test of your perseverance and Will, to be present, even in the wake of what’s going on. In this case, finding out I have an infection in my knee is definitely a moment that I now accept and move past without holding on to the all the what ifs, proving the nay-Sayers completely f***ing wrong, and accomplishing the goals I’ve set out for the team and myself. This season was only a snapshot of what’s to come from me. Trust Me. “The journey back to the top of Mt. Everest continues.” #StandingRockSiouxTribe Let’s go Celtics!! Celtics fans, I look forward to hearing how loud it gets in the TD Garden during the playoffs and experiencing how intense the environment gets. Thank you all!

The Celtics have been decimated by injuries this year. Gordon Hayward copped a broken leg, Daniel Theis is currently sidelined and Marcus Smart is out for the season. Still, Boston was able to hold the no. 2 seed in the East thanks to coach-of-the-year management by Brad Stevens.

 

Losing Kyrie though? GG.
