Kyrie Irving fractured his knee cap towards the end of game 1 of the Finals and the Cavs were doomed from that point on. Initial reports suggested that Kyrie wouldn’t be back on the court until January, the recent reports suggest that he’ll be back sooner than that. Given his history of injuries, the Cavs would be wise not to rush him back.
There was a report about Kyrie Irving not being ready to play until January.
No one knows for sure, as Irving is recovering from surgery to repair a fractured knee cap. But the Cavs do expect him to play well before January. Of course, that can change once they see him in training camp.
Even if Irving’s knee is in excellent shape, they plan to cut his minutes early in the season. He ranked No. 3 in average minutes per game last season. LeBron James was No. 5.
