Once a Celtic, always a Celtic apparently is not a thing in Boston.
Kyrie Irving will not play for the Nets in his scheduled return Wednesday night to TD Garden, prompting some Boston fans to call out their former All-Star guard around the arena he called home for two seasons.
Fliers of Irving with the caption “Coward” were posted on poles across the street, according to a tweet by ESPN reporter Malika Andrews.
Irving, who signed a four-year contract worth $142 million with Brooklyn over the summer to eventually team with injured signing Kevin Durant, currently is sidelined with what the Nets have described as a shoulder issue.
