Minor-league baseball team to honor Kyrie Irving and feature LeBron James dunk tank
The Boston Red Sox's Triple-A team will honor new Boston Celtics player Kyrie Irving, who was recently acquired in a blockbuster trade that sent Isaiah Thomas to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Pawtucket Red Sox are tabbing it "Kyrie Irving Night" — slated for Thursday against the Buffalo Bisons. Fans are encouraged to wear green in exchange for free admission. There will also be a dunk tank with a man fittingly wearing a LeBron James jersey.
