Kyrie Irving (foot) says he will play Sunday for Cavaliers
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving said that his foot injury won't prevent him from playing in Game 7 on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
When asked about his foot, Irving said, "I'm good, yeah. I'm good. I'm OK." In the third quarter on Thursday, Warriors' Festus Ezeli stepped on Irving's left foot, but the star guard was able to stay in the game. After the win, Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue confirmed that Irving "tweaked it a little bit." Game 7 isn't until Sunday, giving Irving two full days to recover. He's fully expected to be ready for the winner-take-all Game 7.
In the regular season, Irving averaged 19.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game, while his 3.1 nERD ranked 50th. He's averaging 27.3 points, 4.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 steals, and 2.2 made threes during the Finals, while shooting 47.3 percent from the floor.
