Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving will miss Saturday’s game against the Toronto Raptors as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury.

Irving has been limited to only 11 games all season due to the injury and he hasn’t played since Nov. 14 against the Denver Nuggets.

The 27-year-old is in the first season of a four-year, $136-million contract that he signed with the Nets in the summer.

He’s averaging career-high 28.5 points and 7.2 assists this season.
