Irving (knee) has been doing contact work of late, ESPN Cleveland reports.

Analysis:

ESPN's Brian Windhorst said Thursday that Irving is scrimmaging in 3-on-3 settings and noted that he expects Irving to return in "a couple of weeks." That timetable likely more Windhorst's opinion than anything else, so take it with a grain of salt, but it appears Irving is ahead of schedule in his rehab from a fractured knee cap.
