Here we go again. Turning a simple injury into a fiasco where people ask “When will the almighty Kyrie Irving return!?” acting as if he’s the only hope for the Cleveland Cavaliers ever getting a ring.
As most of you know, Kyrie Irving is currently recovering from a fractured knee, and a few weeks ago, the Cavaliers faithful were acting as if “the end is nigh” and the Cavs won’t play him until January, which I considered a possibly good thing, you know he’s good and it’ll be just like when LeBron took a few weeks off. A little boost.
But hold up, it turns out that the Cavs will have Kyrie playing before January, maybe with minute restrictions but he will be playing before January.
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.
Now with the guaranteed minute restrictions, will they be as good as last year? I have to ask, is the reason that they were so good was because Kyrie and LeBron were on the court most of the time?
It’s something to think about, and it will be answered once Kyrie will not be no.3 in minutes per game.
