Blatt being cautious with Kyrie

Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt contends he is just being cautious with injured point guard Kyrie Irving.

Speaking before the Cavaliers squared off with the Celtics in Boston on Tuesday, Blatt said Irving is not 100 percent. He said there is a lot of the season left and he wanted to make sure Irving and shooting guard Iman Shumpert were ready before they returned.

Irving broke his left kneecap during the NBA Finals and has not played since. Shumpert injured his right wrist before training camp and made his season debut against Orlando on Friday.
