Update: Injured Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving did not attend his team's Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers because he had undergone surgery for a deviated septum, coach Danny Ainge said Monday.

Irving had not played in the Celtics' run to the Eastern Conference finals after undergoing a pair of surgeries in March and April to remove screws from his left patella that had become infected. The team indicated at the time that he was expected to need four to five months to recover

 I'm a Kyrie fan but (unless he had a legit excuse) I'm very disappointed he wasn't at the game tonight. The Celtics could've at least used his presence on the bench and in the huddle.

Update- this verified guy says kyrie was in the locker room https://twitter.com/bansky/status/1000952795078451200

Wonder if the beef with lebron was that big where he didn't want the chance it to congratulate lebron

Somebody very close to him better have died. If these guys are going to be paid tens of millions of dollars a year, the least they can do is show up to the games when they are injured. Being a game 7 magnifies this even more. Maybe he didn't want there to be drama between him and the Cavs/Lebron, but it just gives off a bad impression

You already know how I feel about his game absences, though I usually get skewered for it.

Depends on why he wasn't there. I'm not gonna judge him off of zero information
I'm bitter.

I still do not understand why a player getting paid does not attend games..it should be mandatory unless you have a doctor’s excuse.

It’s a bad look, even Mark Jackson called it out.
I really don’t care but he probably should have been there.

Not all injuries prevent you from attending a basketball game. Since he has attended other games I can not attribute his absence to his knee injury. So what exactly is your point again?
