I'm not sure but arthritis in a guy in his 20's is a very bad thing. Brandon Roy was never the same and had to retire early. I think they should try to nip this in the bud before it gets worse.

What would surgery do to take away the arthritis?
Cause I read he still had to get the bone spurs flushed out or something

According to that doctor, arthritis could be one of three scenarios. One scenario is where the joint connecting the kneecap to the shin and femur grinds down the cartilage. If that's the case then it's permanent. It could be treated with steroid injections, prp (whatever that is), and stem cells. With that I think he'd be cooked. He might not have arthritis but of course I'm thinking of the worst case scenario. Best case is where the screws are irritating the tendons in his knee and need to be removed. Doctor said if they take the screws out Kyrie will have 6 weeks of rehab. That might be what it is since he does have tendonitis. It was speculated that Kyrie needs to have scar tissue cleaned up also about a week ago.

If Kyrie can just come back just 75% healthy, Celtics going to the Finals

Depending on the results of Kyrie Irving’s “minimally invasive” knee surgery procedure, the C’s might look to add another player via the “hardship roster exception,” NBC Sports Boston’s A. Sherrod Blakely reported Friday.
NBA teams only are eligible for the exception if they have four players miss a minimum of three consecutive games, and who late are ruled out for at least two more weeks. Boston already has met three of the four requirements: Gordon Hayward has been out since the season opener with a dislocated ankle, Daniel Theis is out for the season after suffering a torn meniscus and Marcus Smart reportedly is out at least until the playoffs after having surgery to repair a torn thumb ligament.
...If Boston adds another player, that player won’t be allowed to participate in the postseason, according to Blakely. That means the Celtics likely would look at adding someone from the G League, including from their own affiliate, the Maine Red Claws.

NBA Rumors: Kyrie Irving Injury Could Allow Celtics To Add Another Player
Yeah but brandon roy was basically Mike Giminski from back in the 80s. Both had lost all their meniscus in both knees so it was bone one bone
It's crazy how many people are writing us off. Our B team kept Dame and them in check. And it's crazier how Brad Stevens is not being given more COY consideration.
Kyrie will be out for 3-6 weeks. They removed a tension wire from his left knee.

Not mad at that
This surgery looks like temporary one for the playoffs. Let's just hope he gets the real surgical procedure in the offseason. I don't care if he has to sit out the first 2 months of the season. Just get 100% healthy Kyrie
So in other words, rest of the regular season and maybe the 1st round
Maybe I’m gassed off these last few games but I think we can still beat Miami or Milwaukee without him

The bubble was fraudulent
They said his knee was 100% healed structurally. Seems like he's fine long term once he comes back from this.Not mad at that

Wow, thanks for this
So what's all this baseless rumors spreading around that Kyrie would have to undergo surgery every year on his knee and has sever arthritis and may not be the same player again. So all of that was a lie?
Sports reporters suck, man
