Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving: Will sit Monday

Irving (hamstring) won't play Monday against the Pelicans, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis:

The Cavaliers initially listed Irving as dealing with a hamstring cramp following Thursday's win over the Celtics, but now that he'll miss his second straight contest, the injury could be more significant than the team is letting on. Jordan McRae, who scored 20 points while starting in place of Irving on Saturday, will likely pick up another turn as the top-unit point guard Monday.
