After days of trade speculation that swirled around Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics like a polar vortex, the six-time All-Star -- who missed the last two games with a left hip injury -- didn't exactly ice the rumor mill when meeting the media this morning prior to tonight's C's-Knicks game.
When asked if he has changed his mind about signing with the Celts, he told reporters at the team's shootaround, "Ask me July 1."
He also said: "At the end of the day, I'm going to do what's best for my career."
The one bright spot for Celtics fans: He said his plan right now is to stay here. "Obviously Boston is still at the head of the race."
More to come . . .
