On Jan. 9, the Celtics blitzed the Indiana Pacers in Boston, then flew out that night to Miami, arriving at the team hotel after 2 a.m. on Thursday. Boston was set to play the Miami Heat that night, but, team sources said, that didn't stop some of the young players from heading to South Beach, where the clubs stay open well past 5 a.m. It's not uncommon for NBA players to go out when they're on the road, but Irving was irked teammates decided to do it in the middle of back-to-back games.

The Celtics ended up submitting a lackluster effort in a 115-99 drubbing at the hands of the Heat.

Irving is widely expected to sign with the Brooklyn Nets once free agency starts on June 30. The Celtics are supposedly going to replace Kyrie with Kemba Walker.

Irving clearly wasn't happy playing for the Celtics this season. A change of scenery might be the best thing for Uncle Drew and Boston.
