Oakland (United States) (AFP) - Cleveland Cavaliers star guard Kyrie Irving has a broken left kneecap and will miss the rest of the NBA championship series against the Golden State Warriors, the Cavaliers said Friday.

An MRI exam revealed the extent of the damage a day after Cleveland fell 108-100 to the Warriors in over-time in game one of the best-of-seven finals.

Irving collapsed to the court in the extra period, grimacing as he limped to the locker room.
