>>Irving Passing On Celtics’ Extension For Now
(Boston, MA) — Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving is willing to bet on himself. Irving said he’s going to pass on a contract extension with Boston this summer and will wait until 2019 when he can become an unrestricted free agent. It makes financial sense for Irving, who can get significantly more money from the Celts next summer. He played in only 60 games this year and missed the entire playoffs.
