Kyrie Irving Leads the Way on Thursday
7 years agoBoston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving (knee) returned to action on Thursday, showing no signs for concern in 29 minutes of floor time. Irving scored 23 points on 9-for-15 shooting, including three three-point bombs in the contest. He was active in all areas against the 'Wolves, finishing with seven boards, eight assists, two steals and a block in the win. The only negative takeaway from this one was the four turnovers, but fantasy owners can certainly live with that after a performance like this. Head coach Brad Stevens admitted he knew Irving's knee was an issue going into the season, but it seems like it's a manageable injury that will just require some offseason attention. Keep him active in all lineups.
