Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving expects to play Tuesday night against the Atlanta Hawks after missing the past two games with a "bone bruise" on his left knee.
"He practiced well today and hopefully his knee will respond tomorrow and we'll see him out there," Cleveland coach David Blatt said following Monday's practice.
Irving initially hurt his knee on Dec. 11 in Oklahoma City and re-aggravated the injury in a Christmas Day loss to the Miami Heat.
