Kyrie Irving continues to try to battle through a right foot strain in which he's hobbling and isn't as explosive as he usually is.

The Cleveland Cavaliers also moved Irving on defense to not defend Derrick Rose.

Irving asked his teammates if they wanted him to stay out on the floor.

"I asked them if they still wanted me out there," said Irving.

Iman Shumpert didn't hear Irving's question, but said he definitely wants him out there.

"I definitely always want him out there if he can go," Shumpert said after the game.
