The mask is back, Green Teamers.
Kyrie Irving shed his protective face guard during the Boston Celtics’Â triumphant 92-88 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. Clearly annoyed with the mask’s negative impact on his ability to perform, Irving appeared to be done with it for good.
But that’s not the case, as the Celtics revealed that Irving plans to wear the mask for Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Irving obviously hates wearing the mask, but it’s probably safe to continue wearing it while his facial fracture heals.
Still, Celtics fans likely won’t complain, as Uncle Drew has proven he’s perfectly capable of putting up huge numbers while wearing a face protector.
