Kyrie Irving Starting Tonight for Cavs Seems Like A Precarious Decision

Kyrie Irving will play tonight for Cleveland after missing the last two games with an injured knee. According to Yahoo’s Marc Spears, Irving will have a 25-minute limit. Even with that, this seems, from the outside, to be a needless risk for the Cavs. Even if they lose tonight, they still have two more home games in this series. One can never say never, but no NBA team has ever come back from 3-0 deficit. If anything happens with Irving tonight, a lot of observers are going to wonder why they didn’t just rest him until the Finals.
