Kyrie Irving is no longer able to play in the 2015 NBA Finals, but he’s still 100 percent behind his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates.

Kyrie Irving is sidelined for the remainder of the 2015 NBA Finals. A fractured kneecap suffered in Game 1 leaves the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard unable to help his team try to bring a tortured sports city a championship. In fact, Irving is currently laid up in a hospital bed rather than being beside his teammates. That doesn’t mean he’s going to stop showing his support, though.

While recovering from the knee surgery that will keep him out of action for 3-4 weeks, Irving sent this out after the Cavs’ overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 2:

If exclamation points are the true measure of excitement, Irving was absolutely ecstatic after the victory for Cleveland last night.

Irving’s absence certainly loomed large for the Cavs in game two as offense was at a premium for much of the game. That being said, he watched his team put together a gritty defensive performance and watched LeBron James notch a huge triple-double.

Hopefully Irving will be able to join his teammates during his recovery before the end of the Finals. That being said, it remains to be seen if the Cavs will be able to stifle the Warriors in the manner that they did in game two once again in this series.
