Kyrie Irving (right knee strain) said he's healthy and will play in the All-Star Game on Sunday night.
Irving missed the Celtics final two games heading into the All-Star break due to the knee issue, but speaking with reporters late in the week, Danny Ainge said that Irving was "very, very close" to a return. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks on Sunday or during practice next week, Kyrie will be ready to rock for the C's first game after the break, which is Thursday in Milwaukee.
