Per BSO’s Robert Littal who was present during the Cavs’ afternoon presser, Kyrie Irving confirmed that his knee was indeed structurally sound when his injury occurred.
There was reports that the number of minutes Irving played contributed to the injury, but Irving refuted such reports by stating his knee was in good health at the time.
Kyrie clarified his point and called the injury a “freak play”
