Kyrie Irving: Injures Hip

Irving fell hard and injured his hip in the fourth quarter of Team USA's win over Ukraine in the FIBA World Cup of Basketball, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. The Cavalier point guard had to be helped to the locker room.

Analysis:

Irving tweeted after the game that he was fine, but he has hardly been a paragon of health in his early career. Depending on its ultimate seriousness, the injury shouldn't affect Irving's status for the upcoming season, but he may cede time to Derrick Rose for Team USA in upcoming games.
