The Cleveland Cavs have announced that after a MRI on Tuesday, Kyrie Irving is ruled out for the rest of the NBA Finals. Kyrie injured his knee during the Cavs NBA FInals Game 1 loss to the Warriors and it looked ridiculously painful. It sounds like Kyrie will be out for somewhere between 3-4 months.
Here is the full statement from the Cavs:
Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving left last night’s NBA Finals game one in the overtime period with a left knee injury. He received an MRI today at Stanford Sports Medicine Clinic, which revealed a fractured left knee cap. He will have surgery to repair the knee in the coming days at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland by Cavaliers head team physician Dr. Richard Parker. His recovery time is projected to be three to four months and his status will be updated as appropriate.
