Cavaliers’ Irving poised to return from injury

Kyrie Irving, the all- star point guard who hasn’t played since breaking his left kneecap in Game 2 of last season’s NBA Finals, could make his much-anticipated 2015-16 debut in the next few days. Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt said Thursday that Irving — and starting guard Iman Shumpert, who has been out with a right wrist injury — will travel with the team and may play either Friday in Orlando or Tuesday in Boston. Irving and Shumpert both made it through full practices Thursday and will accompany the team on the two-game swing. Blatt stressed the team will stay cautious.
