From the PD:

Kyrie Irving is sick, BScott said. He is doubtful for tonight.

BScott said he got a call from team trainer this morning that Kyrie was under the weather. Donald Sloan will start if KI cannot play vs Wiz.

Irving is only possible lineup change.

Sure..... it was a trainer....

 

[PosterTime]

I bet Chris Grant called Kyrie up to his office and had two pictures sitting on the desk.

A picture of Anthony Davis and a picture of PJIII. Kyrie nodded and immediately texted coach Scott about his sickness.

I really do wonder how on-board Kyrie is for the tank though. I would bet her purposely missed those two free throws and he sure as hell wants to play with an elite talent instead of a bunch of scrubs.

Wow, who could've seen that coming. I hope it's nothing worse than the 72-hour flu.

And, for the record, I googled it and the actual medical term for the condition is: "gasupthetankitis."

 

[Dr. Gymbo]

There's no excuse for not losing tonight. Game face is already on gentleman.

 

[Huber.]

Here's my interpretation with said gif:

Doesn't load. Fail.

Reed, Boyer ‏ @PDcavsinsider
kyrie irving headed to court to shoot.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! He should be at home!

 

[Gimme Some Mo]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! He should be at home!

Hard to believe he has the flu if he is there and shooting around. He still better sit. SMH.... nothing can just be easy

From Brendan Bowers:

Byron said if he ends up playing Kyrie Irving today his minutes will be limited. Also said Kyrie wants to play in last home game for fans.

Kyrie was out shooting around, and Byron said medical staff still needs to check him out before making final decision on playing tonight.

From the ABJ:

BScott said he understands how Irving's flu might look suspicious from outside, but he insists "It's legit.

 

[Pyro]

Who cares if it looks suspicious? Nothing against the rules.

He doesn't have the flu he has the poops. They better not wear the white shorts tonight.

From Tom Withers (AP):

Irving says he's playing. Still nothing official from #Cavaliers.

I've taken a bullet for us here guys. I tried my best to reverse jinx us into not being able to lose these next two games. I made a bet with my freind guaranteeing him that the Cavs will win the next two game (reverse jinx here) and if we lose them both I have to put this avy on here for a year.

Like I said i'm taking a bullet.
