LAS VEGAS — Kyrie Irving isn’t in a position where he could play with USA Basketball this week at its minicamp.
He made the trip to Las Vegas anyway.
The way Irving sees it, if USA Basketball calls, you answer. So he was in the gym Thursday for the start of the two-day camp, watching and interacting with guys but not partaking in the on-court action.

And he insisted that when the Boston Celtics start training camp in about two months, he will be fully ready to go.
“Easily. Easily. Easily,” the former Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick’s star said. “It’s just the summertime. This is probably one of the first summers in my last seven years where I’ve actually had time to kind of develop and work on things that I want to improve on.”

By ADAM ZAGORIA ESPN's Mark Jackson called out
Duke forward Jayson Tatum worked out Monday for the Boston Celtics, a source confirmed to ZAGSBLOG.
ESPN first reported the workout.
The Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers on Monday finalized a trade for the No. 1 pick in which the Celtics would also add the Sixers’ first-round pick in 2018, which came via the Lakers and is protected 2-5.
The 6-foot-8 Tatum is currently projected as the No. 3 pick to the Celtics per DraftExpress.com, while the site has Kansas’ Josh Jackson going No. 4 to Phoenix.
One source said it’s a “tossup” for the Celtics between the two wings.
