CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers will have to wait at least one more game for their star point guard to make his return.
Kyrie Irving announced on Twitter Wednesday afternoon that he will not play in Thursday's primetime showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Sorry to dwindle the news, but I won't be returning tmrw. It was wrongfully reported. When I do come back you'll hear it directly from me.

It was reported by ESPN.com that Irving planned to make his season debut on Thursday night, but needed to pass physical tests for final team approval.
