Kyrie Irving trying to 'school these younguns' in post-practice 1-on-1

LOS ANGELES - Not even head coach Brad Stevens' attempts to herd his team onto the bus could break up an extended 1-on-1 post-practice session that featured All-Star Kyrie Irving battling Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

At the conclusion of Boston's hourlong offday workout, Irving and Brown began to engage in 1-on-1 work while teammates got up shots inside the cavernous Student Activities Center on the campus of UCLA. Eventually, Tatum joined the round-robin action and a loud and boisterous session unfolded as reporters chronicled on their phones while waiting to chat with Irving.

Needless to say, Irving's left thigh was feeling better after missing Wednesday's win in Sacramento due to a contusion. He reveled in the challenge of competing against two of Boston's top wings after practice.


"I got to school these younguns," said Irving. "They are 21- and 22-year-olds. It's always fun just to compete, going against those wings, they are two of the best in our league. It's a luxury to be able to play 1-on-1 after practice."

Irving's shot-making helped him dominate for stretches but Tatum used his length and Brown utilized his strength to help win their shares of possessions.

The players lingered on a court for nearly 25 minutes after Boston's practice ended before they called it a day.
