Is Irving Destined for New Pastures?

Former Duke man Kyrie Irving’s Boston Celtics career might not be as long and fruitful as many expected it to be. After an impressive start to life at The Garden, Irving’s hopes of leading the Celtics to an NBA championship came to an end in March with the 26-year old suffering a season-ending knee injury. But while the franchise’s main man sidelined, rather than faltering, the Celtics actually performed better on occasions as they made their way to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals and all the way to Game 7, before a LeBron James inspired Cavaliers team finally managed to get over the line.
