Kyrie Irving exited Game 1 of The NBA Finals in the overtime period with a left knee injury. He received an MRI on Friday at Stanford Sports Medicine Clinic, which revealed a fractured left knee cap.

Irving will have surgery to repair the knee in the coming days at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland by Cavaliers head team physician Dr. Richard Parker.

Irving's recovery time is projected to be three to four months and his status will be updated as appropriate.   

Irving was injured on a non-contact play trying to drive past Klay Thompson.

Irving published the following statement on Instagram:

"I want to thank everyone for the well wishes. Saddened by the way I had to go out but it doesn't take away from being apart of a special playoff run with my brothers. Truly means a lot for all the support and love. I Gave it everything I had and have no regrets. I love this game no matter what and I'll be back soon. To my brothers: You already know what the deal is. And to Delly: "ICE it down del" *Big Perk voice *"
