Questions of durability have been raised now due to the latest injury (shoulder sprain) of Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving that may keep him out for the rest of the season. Yesterday after hearing the news, Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott addressed the media.
"He still is very young. His body hasn't fully developed. I'm just not that concerned about it, to be honest with you. All the injuries that he has gotten have been legitimate injuries. It's not something that keeps recurring over and over again. From just what I saw last night with the little hip check, it was just an unfortunate foul that hit him right on the spot. So I'm not really concerned about it."
"The last time that we lost him, we lost him for three games and we won two out of the three and played pretty well, so I think that everybody understands that each guy has to pick it up a little bit more," Scott said. "It's not going to be one guy that can take over all the things that Kyrie brings to the table, so we'll have to do it by committee. It's as simple as that. The core of our rotation is Shaun and Dion and Boobie, so we'll see how it works."
