Cavs lose Irving for at least one game with back injury

Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving won't make the trip to Philadelphia for Monday night's game because of lower back tightness.

Irving left Sunday's 109-90 loss to Dallas in the third quarter and didn't return. The All-Star point guard scored a season-low six points, making 2 of 9 shots in 25 minutes.

Irving, who will remain in Cleveland to get treatment, said he hurt the back in Friday's game at Charlotte.
