Kyrie Irving Out 6-8 Weeks After Fracturing Hand

[key2win]

At least its the off season.

Kyrie Irving fractured his hand on Saturday morning after slapping the padding on the gym wall at practice.

Irving will be out six to eight weeks and is expected to be ready for training camp.

Oh well...at least he didn't punch a fire extinguisher.

Seriously though, I'm just glad it wasn't game related. Rather see a freak injury than see him get hurt on a basketball play.

Did Kyrie beat Kobe in that game of 1 on 1? Then Kobe sent his arm into the wall? LOL!

No, he just punched a wall instead.

Did you even read what Kerwin posted? He slapped the padding on the wall. He didn't punch anything.

There's a bit of a difference in hitting something that's padded and punching through glass.

Read the article I posted, he broke the hand from hitting the wall.

There are quotes from Irving as well.

While it's not a serious injury and I'm hoping the Cavs have a high pick again next year, this injury stinks. It would have been nice for Irving to build some chemistry with the rookies and Tristan Thompson in the summer league.
