When will Kyrie Irving play his first game of the 2015-16 season? It's the million-dollar question that no one has an answer for. After Irving suffered a broken kneecap in Game 1 of last season's NBA Finals, there has been plenty of uncertainty regarding when the Cleveland Cavaliers would have their star point guard back out on the court.  

Last month, a report from the Northeast Ohio Media Group were suggesting that Irving might not return until January. However, The Plain Dealer's Terry Pluto believes the Cavs expect to have Kyrie back "well before January." Of course, everything can change when they get a first-hand look at how the knee is holding up. So, keep your fingers crossed, Cavs fans, when training camp rolls around.
