The Cleveland Cavaliers are in Brazil as part of the NBA Global Games. Cavs might be without their point guard as word has spread that Irving, who has dealt with the injury bug throughout his NBA career, sprained his ankle in practice and is wearing a boot.
#Cavs guard Kyrie Irving sprained his right ankle in practice. He's wearing a boot for precautionary measures. Says it's not serious.

Hopefully the injury is indeed not serious for Irving, and he’s able to suit up for the preseason game against the Heat.
Here’s Kyrie ontop of the Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro:
