Kyrie Irving, the star player for the Boston Celtics, will unfortunately miss the 2018 NBA playoffs due to a bacterial infection at the site of his recent surgery. The surgery was performed on March 24 to remove a tension wire that had been placed to mend Irving’s left patellar fracture from a playoff injury in 2015. The infection has now necessitated a second surgery to remove two screws from his patella.
This unexpected setback means that Irving will be out of action for an estimated 4-6 months, delivering a significant blow to both him and his team. The Celtics had hoped to have their star player back early in the playoffs, but now they will have to face the challenge without him.

Despite the loss of Irving, the Celtics remain a formidable team under the guidance of head coach Brad Stevens. Currently holding the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference behind the Toronto Raptors, they will undoubtedly put up a tough fight in the playoffs with their scrappy style of play.
