Kyrie Irving to seek second opinion for ongoing knee soreness

Kyrie Irving will seek a second opinion for ongoing soreness in his left knee, head coach Brad Stevens announced Tuesday night.

“It’s not new pain by any means,” Stevens told reporters before the Celtics-Thunder game at the TD Garden. “It’s not anything new.”

Irving will consult another medical opinion on his knee “later this week,” according to Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports. Tony Massarotti of 98.5 The Sports Hub reported the All-Star guard needs to remove the screws in his knee or he will not play at all.

With lack of progress on his ailing left knee, Celtics All-Star Kyrie Irving plans to travel for a second opinion later this week, league sources tell Yahoo.
