Im not super OK with the implication statement that this is a "fake injury"
I'm not comfortable assuming that what the media reports is always accurate. I've also never heard of a player leaving a game at halftime because he/she was bumped in the nose. Very poor form from a "leader."
So to be clear, your logic behind this is that the media covering the Celtics is fake news?
Kyrie Irving is perfectly fine and is missing games and wearing a mask because the Celtics medical staff, coaches and media have come together to create a wall to hide Irving's fake injury from the public.
Irving will wear the mask because it looks cool.
