Oakland (United States) (AFP) - Cleveland Cavaliers star Kyrie Irving will miss the remainder of the NBA Finals with a fractured left kneecap, but LeBron James vows his team will be ready for game two Sunday.
Irving, who collapsed in over-time of Cleveland's 108-100 loss to Golden State in Thursday's opener, will undergo surgery in the next few days and the 23-year-old All-Star guard is expected to need three or four months to recover.
