Kyrie Irving has missed the last two games with tendonitis in his left knee. Now, with the series looking to be all but wrapped up, he and the Cavaliers brass have decided to start him in tonight's Game Four, with the catch being that he will play (at most) 25 minutes:
This seems like the type of thing that can only go badly (though admittedly only Irving knows how his knee truly feels). Maybe the Cavs figure he'll get more than a week of rest if they seal it this evening?
Hopefully we're not posting a story later tonight about how he limped into the locker room.
