Kyrie Irving: (Fractured Kneecap) Out For Rest Of Finals
Irving (knee) has a fractured left kneecap, which will sideline him for a few months, the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Zack Meisel reports.
Analysis:
This is a devastating blow for the Cavaliers, who were already playing without Kevin Love. Irving will need surgery and will likely need all summer to recover. With Irving out of the picture Matthew Dellavedova and Iman Shumpert will see more on-ball duties, but LeBron James will likely serve as the de facto point guard for much of the remaining games in the NBA Finals.
