Since Cavs PG Kyrie Irving suffered a knee injury last June much has been speculated on when he would be back on the court. Some reports have the Cavs without Kyrie till January. The most recent report comes from Terry Pluto of Cleveland.com, who says the Cavs expect Kyrie back before 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.
Considering these injuries for Kyrie seem to be adding up the Cavs might want hold rushing Kyrie back. The Cavs are a lock to make the playoffs in the weak East. Reducing minutes and letting Kyrie sit might be the best strategy come May.
