Kyrie Irving’s status for NBA Finals opener unclear

Kyrie Irving's status for NBA Finals opener unclearCavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving, bothered by a sore left knee, is resigned to not being 100 percent for the NBA Finals.Irving said he has been receiving treatment, but he sounded less enthused about his progress than he did last week when he insisted there were "no ifs and or buts" whether he would play.Cavaliers coach David Blatt offered no word on how much he thinks Irving will be able to play.Irving doesn't have the same burst on drives to the basket and he's avoided any contact to protect his tender knee.Irving's knee issues arose while he was favoring a sprained right foot he injured in the opening round against Boston.The Cavs need him to play well against the Warriors and league MVP Stephen Curry.
