The right foot injury Kyrie Irving suffered during the early part of his freshman season at Duke won't be completely healed for another three months.

Irving, who did not train for two months after the draft to rest the foot, said he felt internal pressure to return in March to play for the Blue Devils in the NCAA Tournament. 

"I could have waited a little longer (but) I wanted to play with my teammates," Irving said.

He said he's experiencing no pain in his foot.
