Kyrie Irving to return against Knicks at MSG

After some strenuous tests Friday at the Cavaliers Facility, Kyrie feels ready to go.

Cleveland, Ohio -- The city of Cleveland is about to find out what their basketball team is really capable of. After receiving doctors clearance earlier in the week, Cavaliers medical and coaching staff ran Kyrie Irving through a final test of strenuous activities on Friday. They waited to see how his surgically repaired knee would respond the following day. Kyrie warmed up with the team Saturday but did not play against the Pistons. "It felt great. No swelling, no soreness, no nothing. I'm ready to go" said Irving following the 99-76 win over the Pistons. "We chose to sit Kyrie tonight after all the drills we put him through the past few days. Gave him some rest rather than play him and throw him on the plane to New York directly after this. He will play and start Sunday in New York." said coach Byron Scott.

Kyrie will jump into a much better situation than when he left it with a torn MCL after last year's all-star break. There are some new faces in the line-up including Kevin Love, Andre Iguodala, Thabo Sefolosha and others. These new faces can play. They have managed to carry the Cavs to a 16-8 record. They lead the Central Division by 2.5 games and stand alone in the second spot of the Eastern Conference race. Kevin Love had just two words and a sinister smile for me when I asked him how Kyrie returning would effect the team, "You'll see." The overall team feeling is excitement. Coach Byron Scott said "Kyrie makes the game easier for all the players around him. You bet the team is excited."

What better place to return than 'the basketball mecca', Madison Square Garden. Many eyes will be on Kyrie and the Cavs Sunday night against the Knicks. It's a 7:30PM start...Don't be late Cleveland!
