Aron Baynes ankle sprain hurts in a loss to 76ers
Aron Baynes once again may be a stranger to the floor for a while. The Celtics center sprained his left ankle Wednesday night in the third quarter of the Celtics’ 118-115 loss to Philadelphia and didn’t return.

He took responsibility for it,” Kyrie Irving said.
