Kyrie Irving was reportedly 45 minutes late for a workout session and talk with Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens.
The four-time All-Star did not deny this, but discussed the reason why he did not make it on the agreed time. He cited that his car broke down after he refueled it, as he was not aware that his Jeep's engine was changed.
“I had no idea that my engine got changed. So I put regular gas in the Jeep and it stalled out,” Irving said Thursday night.
“[The Jeep] stalled out right on the corner of Beaver and Forest, right in front of Bentley University. And I'm standing there and our equipment guy [John Connor] came and picked me up. So I was like 45 minutes late to meeting with Brad. That shows you how much time I was out there for. It was raining and I was wearing shorts and a T-shirt but the people out there that kept stopping, they were awesome.”

Interestingly, Irving mentioned that there were a number of motorists that pulled over to ask if he needed any help. Since his car broke down near a university, he was also in a safe location, and despite the heavy rain, he was unharmed and their equipment personnel rushed to pick him up.
Being on top of whatever's happening with his car, or if anything has been changed, might do Irving some good in the future.
