Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving: Day-to-day with knee tightness

Irving (knee) is considered day-to-day heading into Saturday's game against the Clippers, Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports.

Irving exited Thursday's game against the Jazz after playing 30 minutes upon experiencing tightness in his left knee. Coach Tyronn Lue downplayed Irving's injury after the contest, but it's not a given that the point guard will be able to play Saturday. If Irving is forced to miss time, Deron Williams would likely enter the starting five and take on a 30-plus-minute role.
