Kyrie Irving (concussion) has been ruled out to play on either Friday against the Bucks or Saturday against the Sixers.

Irving complained that his head felt like it "was on fire" before being diagnosed with the concussion. The NBA Concussion Program Guidelines are being followed, and Irving won't be allowed to return until he passes 100 percent of the outlined tests. Ramon Sessions will continue to start in Irving's place for as long as the rookie remains sidelined.
