Many speculated it would mark the first time Irving would play this season.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) – The Cavaliers will be missing two guards – not including All-Star Kyrie Irving – when they host Oklahoma City. Maybe Irving isn’t ready to play at all, making the report about the Cavs being cautious void.
Point guard Kyrie Irving, who’s been sidelined after suffering a fractured kneecap in the NBA Finals, had been rumored to be getting back to the court very soon.
According to an Instagram post shared by the R&B singer on Thursday, December 17, she had no idea she was in labor until she woke up at 6 a.m.
He has been active in practice, but refuses to set a date for his season debut. Their ideal starting backcourt of Iman Shumpert at the 2 and Kyrie Irving at the point has been absent for this entire season.
Now, the Cavaliers can put their starters on the floor, let Coach David Blatt find his lineup rotations, ease James’ responsibilities, get Kevin Love and Irving going offensively, play better defense, properly use that depth and open the throttle on this high-priced sports auto. But Shumpert will miss more time after suffering a groin injury on Tuesday night, and has been ruled out for Thursday’s game. Shooting 5 for 7 with 14 points, Shumpert reintroduced his importance to the Cavaliers team. He referred to as out the Cavs, saying Golden State “looks more hungry than we are”.
Irving traveled with the Cavs on their road trip to Orlando and Boston, but did not play. J.R. Smith didn’t apologize, and nothing happened.
Without question, James is the greatest player seen by an entire generation of basketball fans, but after 11 years and five consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, he has begun this season somewhat showing his mortality.

A groin injury setback isn’t terrible for Iman Shumpert but it’s frustrating.
