Kyrie expects to return Sunday after 1-game absence

Boston Celtics star Kyrie Irving is expected to return Sunday against the Orlando Magic after a one-game absence.

Irving was held out of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a sore shoulder on his non-shooting arm.

"I'm still going to need some work, but I'm just ready to go back out there and play," Irving said, according to ESPN's Chris Forsberg. "I'm just glad I had a few days to kind of reset and do the things needed in order to put myself in a great position to go out there and play."

Irving is leading the top-seeded Celtics with 24.1 points, five assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game.
