Duke Basketball: Kyrie Irving sets career high in assists in Celtics victory

Boston Celtics star Kyrie Irving has been in the news this week and it hasn’t been for his play on the basketball court.

Irving has publicly called out his teammates for not being able to handle adversity and not having what it takes to win an NBA Championship.

The Celtics fell by two points against the Orlando Magic last Saturday and then fell again to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night, but Irving did not play against the Nets due to a quad injury.

However, Irving would return to the floor at home against one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors.
