Kyrie Irving did not play in 3 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Despite that, LeBron James led the team to the NBA Finals and now Irving is expected to start in game 1, but Irving doesn’t believe it’s that easy.
According to Rick Noland of The Chronicle-Telegram:
Blatt says Kyrie went thru parts of practice

Blatt says Cavs trying to get Kyrie as ready as possible, will address possible minutes restriction later

Kyrie says won't be 100 percent "unless something miraculous happens"

By the way it’s sounding, it seems like Kyrie Irving even if he plays, won’t be able to help the Cavaliers much. When Kyrie did play under the conditions he’s in currently, he tends to be an outside shooter, and less of a playmaker for the Cavaliers. That could help the Cavaliers if they put LeBron in the point position. The Cavaliers and Warriors tip off on Thursday in the Oracle Arena. Can it get here any faster?
