Celtics not considering trading Kyrie Irving

Indiana Pacers v Boston Celtics

Kyrie Irving will become a free agent in the summer, and some reports have claimed that the Celtics may consider trading him away ahead of the trade deadline. Despite this, Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald is reporting that the Celtics will not entertain any offers for their star point guard:

With Kyrie Irving being dragged into the Anthony Davis circus and then seemingly opening the door to questions about whether he will stay with the Celtics after this season, some league execs saw an opening. But that notion has, according to league sources, been summarily quashed.

Irving has been with the Celtics since 2017, after requesting a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since moving to Boston, Irving has become the focal point of the team's offense, and so far this season, Irving is averaging 23.8 points, 7.0 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game.
