Celtics' Kyrie Irving leaves game after being inadvertently elbowed in face by Aron Baynes

Kyrie Irving left the game against Charlotte after being hit in the head by his teammate Aron Baynes.

Per ESPN,  Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving took an inadvertent elbow to the face from a teammate early in the first quarter of Friday night's 90-87 win over the Charlotte Hornets.

Celtics big man Aron Baynes hit Irving while trying to defend a Kemba Walker shot attempt. After fouling Walker on a drive, Baynes spun to box out and his right elbow smashed Irving, who immediately collapsed to the floor clutching his face.

Irving was attended to by Celtics trainer Art Horne and left the court clutching a towel over his bloodied face. After the game, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Irving has not been diagnosed with a concussion but will be monitored for symptoms moving forward.
