CHARLOTTE -- Kyrie Irving will not play tonight against Charlotte because of a hamstring injury suffered Thursday against Boston.
Little-used Jordan McRae will start in Irving's place, coach Tyronn Lue said.
Lue also said Mike Dunleavy would miss tonight's game because of ankle injury suffered against Boston.
Let's discuss Irving. Since virtually the moment Irving left the Boston game after having scored 32 points with about 53 seconds left Thursday, the Cavs have been calling his right hamstring injury a cramp. Well, cramps don't last three days.
Now they're calling it "tightness" in his hamstring caused by Irving banging knees with LeBron James in the first half.
