Leinsters inexperienced fly-half Joey Carbery could make his Test debut when Ireland attempt to stop New Zealand extending their record match-winning streak in Chicago on Saturday.Carbery has just nine senior Leinster appearances to his name and turns 21 on November 1, but could now take a seat on Irelands bench for Saturdays autumn Test opener against the double world champions.Ulsters Paddy Jackson will miss the USA trip due to personal reasons, leaving prodigious talent Carbery the most likely understudy to Johnny Sexton.Ireland must also bid to deny New Zealand a 19th consecutive victory without influential forwards Sean OBrien, Iain Henderson and Peter OMahony.Players returning to full fitness Sean OBrien, Iain Henderson and Peter OMahony along with Paddy Jackson, unavailable due to personal reasons, will not make the trip to Chicago, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) confirmed in a statement.Sexton should start Saturdays Soldier Field clash, with Leinster team-mate Carbery now likely to take a seat on the bench in Ulster playmaker Jacksons absence.Carbery has been promoted to Irelands senior squad for the autumn series ahead of Ian Madigan, now plying his trade in Bordeaux.Ireland would ideally have aimed to ease the Leinster academy graduates transition, but his form in the Guinness PRO12 suggests he boasts the requisite skills to cope in the Test arena.Leinster flanker OBrien has only just returned from long-term hamstring trouble, and has been deemed not quite ready for Test rugby.Ireland will hope the combative loose-forward will be available for selection by the time they face New Zealand again, in Dublin on November 19.Peter OMahony has recently beaten the knee ligament problem that ended his World Cup 2015 campaign prematurely in the 24-9 pool stage victory over France.As with OBrien, Ireland are taking few risks with the Munster captain in the hope the 27-year-old can be at full tilt by the time New Zealand pitch up in Dublin.Powerful back-five forward Henderson suffered a shoulder injury in Ulsters 19-18 Champions Cup victory over Exeter Chiefs on October 22.Ireland remain hopeful the 24-year-old can make a quick recovery to play a meaningful part in what will be another gruelling November series.Irelands 27-man squad to face New Zealand in Chicago on Saturday: F Bealham (Connacht), R Best (capt), J Carbery, S Cronin (both Leinster), U Dillane (Connacht), T Furlong (Leinster), C Gilroy (Ulster) C Healy, J Heaslip, R Henshaw (all Leinster), B Holland (Munster), R Kearney (Leinster), K Marmion (Connacht), J McGrath, L McGrath, J Murphy (all Leinster), C Murray (Munster), J Payne (Ulster), G Ringrose (Leinster), D Ryan, J Ryan (both Munster), J Sexton (Leinster), CJ Stander (Munster), D Toner (Leinster), A Trimble (Ulster), J Van der Flier (Leinster), S Zebo (Munster).

The deal would bring Boston a first-round draft pick in 2015, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it is pending a trade call with the NBA office. Rivers, who had three years and $21 million left on his contract with the Celtics, must also reach an agreement on a new deal with the Clippers. Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said the team had no announcement. The tentative agreement on Sunday wraps up weeks of haggling over the deal and frees Rivers from presiding over the dismantling of the team that won the franchises record 17th NBA title in 2008. The Celtics and Clippers have also discussed sending Kevin Garnett to Los Angeles in a package with Rivers for draft choices, centre DeAndre Jordan and point guard Eric Bledsoe. But NBA commissioner David Stern nixed those talks this week, saying teams arent allowed to trade active players for a coach. A deal for Garnett could still happen, but the teams would have to convince the league that it was a separate deal. The 37-year-old big man has a no-trade clause in the contract that will pay him 23.5 million over the next two years, but it is believed he would waive it to be reunited with Rivers on the West Coast. He has also discussed retiring. Boston could also cut ties with Paul Pierce, the longest-tenured member of the team, who is due to earn $15.3 million next season; he could be bought out for $5 million. Pierrce will be 36 by the 2013-14 opener and showed signs of slowing down this season, when he averaged the fewest minutes per game in his career.dddddddddddd Rivers took over the Celtics in 2004 in the midst of the longest title drought in franchise history and -- with thanks to the New Big Three of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen -- guided them to the 2008 NBA title. They returned to the NBA Finals two years later, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games. But the Celtics have regressed steadily since then, twice failing to get past the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference playoffs. This year they finished third in the Atlantic Division -- they had won it five straight times -- and lost to the New York Knicks in the first round. That convinced many that it was time to rebuild -- a process Rivers was reluctant to supervise. If the Celtics unload Garnett and Pierce, that would leave them with point guard Rajon Rondo as their only established star. Rivers had the second-longest tenure of any NBA coach to San Antonios Gregg Popovich, compiling a 416-305 record in Boston that was the third-most wins in franchise history behind Red Auerbach (795) and Tommy Heinsohn (427). He also spent four-plus seasons with the Orlando Magic and is 587-473 in all. Trades for coaches have occurred about a half-dozen times in NBA history, most recently in 2007 when the Heat received compensation for allowing Stan Van Gundy to go to the Orlando Magic. In 1983, the Chicago Bulls sent a second-round draft pick to Atlanta as compensation for coach Kevin Loughery. The Hawks used that pick to take Glenn "Doc" Rivers. ' ' '
