Kyrie Irving: (Knee) Misses Shootaround, Questionable For Game 2

Irving (knee) was not present at shootaround and is officially listed as questionable for Friday's Game 2 against the Hawks, Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Irving, who aggravated his left knee injury in Game 1, will miss shootaround to undergo additional tests as team doctors decide whether or not he'll be able to play Friday. The point guard was visibly hampered in Game 1, but it sounds as though he's willing to play through discomfort so long as there is no risk of furthering the injury. If Irving is ultimately held out, Matthew Dellavedoa will see a significant minutes increase. Dellavedova was held scoreless on 0-of-6 shooting in Game 1.
