Kyrie Irving ankle

Kyrie Irving gave Cleveland Cavaliers fans a major scare late in the third quarter of Game 4 when he went down with a foot injury.

Irving was running in transition following a steal on the defensive end by LeBron James and went to the rim after being passed the ball. He went up in traffic for a layup, but came down grabbing his left ankle.

Irving was down holding his foot for a while and even was examined. He tied his shoelaces tighter, got up, and remained in the game.

A replay showed that he may have rolled his left ankle on the way to the basket for a layup.

Irving did not miss any action and actually scored the Cavs’ next basket. Through three quarters, he led the Cavs with 39 points.
