Irving (knee) is expected to return before January, Adam Zagoria of SportsNet New York reports.

Analysis:

The Cavaliers have declined to reveal an official return timetable for Irving, but the target dates have seemingly always ranged between mid-December and Christmas Day, so this report would seem to support that. Irving, who began taking part in 5-on-0 and 1-on-1 work during practices last week, should steadily increase his activity from here, but until he gets in about a week of full practices, his season debut will remain far off.
