CLEVELAND - Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving experienced a fractured bone in his right hand during a summer league practice in Las Vegas Saturday.
He traveled back to Cleveland on Sunday with Cavaliers head athletic trainer Max Benton and was seen by Cavaliers head team physician Dr. Richard Parker and Dr. Thomas Graham at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health on Monday.
The results of the exam on Mondayconfirmed the injury. Irving will undergo a surgical procedure Wednesday at the Cleveland Clinic to address the fracture.
His status will be updated as appropriate and he is still projected to be ready for the start of training camp at the end of September.
