Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving made his much anticipated return Sunday night after suffering a knee injury during overtime of game 1 of the 2015 NBA Finals and missing the first 24 games of the 2015-16 season for the Cavaliers. Irving looked good but definitely like a player trying to get his legs, stamina and cardio back after [...]

Kyrie Irving is almost back, which is not to be confused with him actually being back. Because he’s not back. Only almost back, sans a concrete return date. We apparently needed that explanation, because no one can quite get a hold of when the Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star is returning. Irving has spouted off all the [...]

Given his injury history in his brief career thus far, the Cavs are understandably cautious with bringing Kyrie Irving back into the fold. This is a championship or bust season, so rushing him back would be a huge mistake. They are likely to win the East, so they’d be wise to take their time. But [...]

LeBron James has a message for the Cleveland Cavaliers: Screw rest. As he nears his 31st birthday, LeBron hasn’t been shy about peeling back the curtain on his training regimen and all he puts into staying in peak playing shape. Previously, when he was first preparing for a return to Cleveland, he also emphasized the [...]

Kyrie Irving is set to play his first game since breaking his left kneecap in last season’s NBA Finals. Last week, he was cleared to practice, and despite being bullish about committing to a return date, he was positive. “I’m a Ferrari without a rearview mirror. Today, there was a lot more up and down, [...]

LeBron James is not happy with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ performance. It doesn’t matter that they own the Eastern Conference’s best record despite a banged-up roster. And it most certainly doesn’t matter that their outlook only seems brighter when you factor in the eventual return of All-Star Kyrie Irving, who has yet to play this season. [...]

Stephen Curry is thorough. Just in case you couldn’t tell by the Golden State Warriors’ history-making 16-0 start to the season, Curry would like to spell it out for you: This team is not yet fully satisfied, not after winning a championship this season, not even after becoming the first NBA squad to begin the [...]

Is runner-up fatigue a thing? LeBron James sure thinks so. Championship fatigue is a more accepted phenomenon. It’s when reigning NBA champions struggle to find inspiration and drive and the motivation to play at full tilt every night following their title-toting campaign the year before. Health plays a part too, since extensive postseason pushes take [...]

Kyrie Irving isn’t OK with people who aren’t OK with his injury history. The Cleveland Cavaliers point guard has yet to play this season as he continues to recover from a fractured kneecap that he suffered in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Beyond that, the 23-year-old has dealt with more than his fair share [...]

Life is, by all appearances, good for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They are winners of seven straight leading into Friday night’s bout with the New York Knicks and own the Eastern Conference’s best record. LeBron James is playing defense like it’s 2010 and balling out on offense when he feels like it. (Though, I must ask, [...]
