Kyrie Irving injury update: out 3-4 months with fractured left kneecap
 |
The Cleveland Cavaliers injury hits keep coming, and the latest is a huge blow that should spell the end to their championship hopes this season as they face the Golden State Warriors in the 2015 NBA Finals. The Warriors lead the series 1-0.
Cavs 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 kneecap.
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.
This leaves LeBron James in the Finals without Irving or injured forward Kevin Love.
