Kyrie Irving’s knee injury in Game 1 of the Finals was devastating. We’ll never know what would’ve come of that series if he were able to go, but we can’t live thinking about what-ifs. But the good news for Cavs fans is that he’s off crutches and has been cleared by doctors to start working out.
Irving has had to deal with a plethora of injuries in his brief career so far and you hope this doesn’t continue to follow him.
Irving has spent much of his summer in Miami, rehabbing at Pinecrest Physical Therapy, a facility less than five miles from agent Jeff Wechsler’s office. While there are still more steps Irving needs to take, general manager David Griffin told reporters in Las Vegas about two weeks ago that Irving is progressing well, something that was made clear on Saturday afternoon.
“I only had the cast on for two weeks,” Irving said. “Then I was in a brace. Once I got clearance from our doctors that I could actually start working out and put pressure on my leg I relish that.”
