Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving didn't return for the second half of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers after suffering a right knee sprain.

Irving appeared to experience discomfort after a defensive sequence midway through the second quarter:

He went to the locker room before the end of the half, finishing with 14 points, two assists, and one rebound in 14 minutes.

His Celtics would go on to blow a 28-point lead, falling to the Clippers 123-112 on their home court.
