The 27-year-old got injured in the fourth quarter of the contest when he and Wizards’ Bradley Beal tangled up. Irving awkwardly landed on his knee and left to the locker room shortly after. The initial diagnosis of a sprain was later confirmed after an MRI.

After getting diagnosed, Irving went on social media to tell his followers that he will be “ok.”

“Honestly, what a scare, but I know God and the angels definitely looked out for me on that one!” said Irving.

Kyrie Irving struggled to stay on the court for the Nets this season, missing career-high 28 games. Most of the games he missed came due to a right shoulder impingement he suffered in November, and he only returned to action in mid-January.

Irving, who is in his first season with the Nets, is averaging career-high 27.4 points per game alongside 5.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists. Brooklyn is currently seventh in the East with 21-27 record and 20.5 games behind first placed Milwaukee Bucks.

The point guard injured his knee in the second quarter of the game. During a possession in which the 26-year-old guard was attempting to get around screens while guarding Garrett Temple, he appeared to tweak his knee.

Irving was then forced to leave the game.

This is the next in a long list of ailments that have bothered the All-Star point guard this season. In fact, Irving had missed 4 of the Celtics’ 8 previous games due to minor injuries before he was forced to make an early exit on Saturday.

Irving has also suffered a hip strain and a quad injury during the past month. Last summer, he underwent knee surgery for a more serious problem, but fortunately, it was on his left knee.

The Celtics have offered no official statement on Irving’s injury, but it appears that he will probably miss at least a few games.

Boston, currently in the midst of the race for the top of the Eastern Conference, will wait with their fingers crossed and hope that Irving will return quickly to the court.
