Kyrie Irving, LeBron James expected to participate in Drew League pro-am

LOS ANGELES -- Kyrie Irving is expected to play in Los Angeles' famed Drew League on Saturday, the commissioner of the pro-am basketball league, Dino Smiley, told ESPN. However, he is not scheduled to play at the same time as LeBron James, according to Smiley.

Irving is scheduled to play at 11 a.m. PT and James' game will tipoff a couple hours later at 1:45, Smiley said.

James will be making his first appearance at the Drew League since 2011, when the NBA was shut down because of a lockout. Yahoo Sports reported earlier about James' planned return to the Drew.
