Kyrie Irving, Spurs Have Mutual Interest

Aug 15, 2017 10:04 AM

The San Antonio Spurs would be a viable trade partner for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Kyrie Irving if LeBron James was committed to the franchise long-term.

The Spurs have interest in Irving while he would be willing to commit to signing with the franchise long-term.

San Antonio could put together a package for Irving with some combination of LaMarcus Aldridge, Tony Parker and Danny Green that gives the Cavaliers a win-now roster.

The Cavaliers, however, are focused on acquiring a young star as part of their trade package for Irving.

Aug 10, 2017 8:02 PM

Tony Parker expects to return from his left quadriceps injury around the first of the year.

Parker suffered the injury in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

"It's OK. It's OK," said Parker. "It's getting better and better. I'm starting to run like a little bit. I'm walking pretty well. I think it's still going to be a long process. It's still going to take like another four or five months but I am very happy in with the progress. I am in advancing in my rehab."

The San Antonio Spurs re-signed Patty Mills in the offseason, who will begin the season as their starting point guard.
