(Reuters) - Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving was on crutches when he left the team's hotel on Friday to be evaluated for a knee injury that may ultimately prove a devastating blow to his team's NBA title hopes.

Irving, who has been bothered with tendinitis for the past six weeks, re-injured his left knee with two minutes remaining in Cleveland's overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game One of the best-of-seven NBA Finals on Thursday.
