Four-time All-star Kyrie Irving will be back in the Boston Celtics lineup tonight when they take on the Brooklyn Nets.
Irving did not play in Boston’s 95-94 win over Toronto on Sunday after suffering a facial fracture after getting hit with an accidental elbow to the right cheek by teammate Aron Baynes.
Speaking to reporters on the morning of Boston’s game against Brooklyn, Irving and Celtics coach Brad Stevens said he will play with a mask on tonight.
