Reading between the lines, it sounds like Irving will sit out Friday's game. Byron Scott said that he'd prefer Irving is 100 percent before returning and not just feeling "better," so Irving is probably not at full health just yet. We'd love to see a Kyrie vs. Chris Paul battle on Friday, but Irving is very questionable to suit up. As has been the case without him, Shaun Livingston would start in Irving's place while Dion Waiters would do more handling of the ball if Irving sits.
