Kyrie Irving is banged up with a right foot strain and left knee tendinitis, but he doesn't believe it is so serious where it will require offseason surgery.

"I feel pretty good," Irving said on Thursday, hours before Game 6. "This is the most I've done just to prepare for one game in my whole entire career. Any game to say that. But I feel pretty good. A lot of icing, a lot of treatment and doing what I need to do."

The best treatment would be time off, which isn't an option.

"Our medical team told me the only way this will feel better with both legs is just to shut me down completely and rest. That's the only thing that would help me right now," Irving said. "I mean this is definitely an important game. We have to be in the moment. We have to come out the way we did the other night and take care of business. It's a really important game."
