Celtics' Kyrie Irving says he'll opt for extended rest in hopes of combating knee soreness
The point guard will miss time due to a knee injury
After loss to Pacers, Kyrie Irving said that he will rest to resolve his knee problem.
Irving did not play the second half in the game against Indiana.
Per ESPN, Celtics All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving hinted that he'll opt for extended rest in hopes of combating the left knee soreness that forced him out of Sunday's 99-97 loss to the Indiana Pacers.
"I think [rest] will probably be the best thing, just instead of kind of hoping it gets better over the two or three days that it usually does," Irving said. "It's aching a little bit more than I wanted it to now, so I'm taking the necessary time."
