Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving: Leaves game with calf tightness

Irving is dealing with some tightness in his left calf and won't return to Tuesday's preseason game against the Wizards, Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Irving played only 10 minutes before departing with the injury. The Cavs haven't issued word on the severity of the calf injury, but it's believed to be only a minor issue. With the Cavs' preseason schedule drawing to a close, Irving will have a full week to recover before the team's Oct. 25 season opener against the Knicks, so it's generally expected that Irving will be ready to go by then.
