Irving was unable to suit up due to a right shoulder impingement that has kept him out for the last seven games. The six-time All-Star didn't even make the trip to Boston as he continues to rehab the injury.
This was the Nets' first visit to Boston this season. Irving left the Celtics in the offseason following a two-year stint with the organization. That move came after a tumultuous 2018-19 campaign more notable for friction between Irving, his Boston teammates and the organization than anything that happened on the court.
Even though the Celtics seem to have come out ahead—their 12-4 record is tied for the second-best in the Eastern Conference—fans in Boston don't sound like they are ready to forgive Irving.
