Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving dispelled a report suggesting he'd return to the lineup in Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Irving vowed Wednesday to do his own reporting when he's fit enough to make his 2015-16 debut:
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.

ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin had reported Irving would indeed play vs. Oklahoma City. The 23-year-old floor general has missed the beginning of this season after suffering a fractured kneecap in Game 1 of the most recent NBA Finals.
