Boston Celtics star point guard Kyrie Irving suffered a scratched eye during Monday's road loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the fourth quarter.

Celtics head coach Brad Stevens told reporters after the game that Kyrie Irving will receive antibiotics for the injury.

Kyrie Irving took an elbow to the face and fell to the floor with around 7:00 minutes left in regulation. The All-Star guard left the game, but was able to return.

Kyrie finished with 16 points and eight assists in the defeat and shot 7-of-14 from the field, 1-of-5 from beyond the arc and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line in 29 minutes of action.

With the loss, the Celtics dropped to 21-15 on the season and 10-10 on the road.

Brad Stevens said postgame he doesn't know what Irving's playing status will be moving forward. Boston hosts the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. Irving has only missed two games this season and entered Monday averaging 23.3 points per game, which leads the Celtics.

If for some reason Kyrie Irving has to miss time, Terry Rozier will step into the starting lineup. Rozier started 16 games last season and the entire 2018 playoffs after Irving went down with his knee injury which required season-ending surgery.

Irving, 26, will become an unrestricted free agent after this season ends if he declines his 2019-20 player option with Boston.
