Kyrie Irving downplayed the seriousness of his strained right foot and is confident he will rebound in Game 4.
"I'm pretty optimistic," Irving said Saturday, speaking to reporters in a ballroom at the Cavs' hotel after David David Blatt canceled practice in lieu of a team yoga session. "It is what it is at this point. Probably eight out of 10 players on the floor in any playoff game have some [nicks] or are injured in some way. It's just that time of the season, something I've never experienced. For me it's more of a prideful thing, and as a competitor, just go out there and give my team whatever is needed and whatever I can give."
Irving shot just 3-for-13 against the Bulls on Friday, including 1-for-11 in the second half, scoring a personal postseason low of 11 points to go with zero assists.
