Going into game 1 of the NBA finals everyone thought the week off rest would help Kyrie knee heal. Throughout the game it had looked like Kyrie knee was healthy and he was back to playing like the old Kyrie before the knee injuries. But in overtime Kyrie fell down while driving on Klay Thompson. Unfortunately he walked off the court in overtime limping back to the locker room. When he thought he had got away from the media you could see all on his face how much pain he was in.
The Cleveland Cavaliers trainers have three days to get Kyrie's knee ready for game two against the Warriors. Without Kyrie the Cavs chances of winning an NBA championship is getting smaller and smaller by the second. So the trainers must do everything possible to get Kyrie healthy by Sunday. Because if they have to start Matthew Dellavedova because Kyrie can't play due to knee injury Steph Curry will have a field day. Fortunately for the Cavs the MCL's and ACL's test came back negative for Kyrie's knee.
But, even with Kyrie Irving getting injured in overtime he played a phenomenal game considering it was his first NBA Finals appearance. Kyrie Irving finished with 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Kyrie didn't let the bright lights of the NBA finals get to him and make him nervous. He helped LeBron with the scoring load tremendously. So the Cavs will need Kyrie Irving for game 2 if they want to have a shot of beating Golden State.
