Stevens took to Twitter to announce the news about Irving:

Kyrie has a scratched eye. So he’ll have antibiotics for that. I don’t know what that means beyond tonight.

Irving addressed the media after the game wearing a pair of sunglasses.  When asked about the condition of his injury, Irving had a sarcastic response.

Apparently, Kyrie thought the question was stupid, so he clapped back at the journalist, saying:

I’m wearing sunglasses, so not too good. I’ll be all right, though. [He] smacked the s— out of me. He just caught me pretty good.
