CLEVELAND -- Kyrie Irving managed to find a silver lining -- and a sliver of hope for the Cavaliers playoff chances -- while dealing with his latest injury. [url=http://www.juventusfcstore.com/authentic-stefano-sturaro-juventus-jersey/]Stefano Sturaro Jersey[/url] . The All-Star point guard will miss at least two weeks with a strained biceps tendon, but hes hopeful his season is not over. "If you could take a positive from the situation, obviously that would be one, that at this point, I dont have to get surgery, which is tremendous," Irving said following shootaround Tuesday at the Cleveland Clinic Courts. Clevelands leading scorer got hurt Sunday night in a loss against the Los Angeles Clippers. An MRI taken Monday revealed the strain, but not a tear, which would have ended Irvings season. Its still not a certainty hell be back, but the Cavs will rest him for two weeks before making any decisions. With 15 games left, the Cavs enter their home matchup against Miami five games behind Atlanta for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. It was going to be a challenge for the Cavs to make up any ground with Irving, and now without him, theyre in a major bind. The 21-year-old was trying to strip the ball from Clippers forward Blake Griffin when his tendon gave out. "One of those freak plays against a strong individual in Blake," Irving said. "I tried to get the ball out of his hands. I knew something was wrong when I came to the bench. Obviously, I just felt just a weird feeling after that play in my shoulder. My arm looked a little different in the biceps area. Thats when I knew that I strained it." Irving will miss at least eight games. Hes already sat out 41 in three NBA seasons, leading some to label him as injury prone. Its still possible he may need an operation, but Irving is trying to be optimistic. "Well see in two weeks," he said. "Im not going to give a definitive answer because I dont know that answer. At this point, Im just going to continue to support my teammates and be on the sideline. Whatever the medical team needs me to do and whatevers in my best interests, Im going to do." With his best player out, Cavs coach Mike Brown will start Dion Waiters in the backcourt with Jarrett Jack. Cleveland could get back C.J. Miles, who has missed 12 games with a sprained ankle. Waiters has provided a spark off the bench all season, and said hes going start with the same mindset hes had as a reserve. "Just going out there playing my game, let everything come to me," he said. "Dont go out there and try to press and do things I normally dont do. Just play the game and have fun." Waiters says all the Cavs have to step it up with Irving sidelined. "Kyrie is the best player on the team," Waiters said. "But it gives other guys the chance to play and show coach things they can do. Weve got to pick it up. Everybody has to be together and play for each other. Thats the biggest thing losing a huge piece like that. We have to play the game, move the ball and have fun out there."

"[People] keep asking that question and its not a legit question because we dont have that right, we havent arrived yet," Casey responded. "Weve got to take each game at a time, each possession at a time and look at it that way.LONDON - Teofilo Teo Gutierrez headed in a late goal as Colombia came from behind to beat the United States 2-1 in a friendly at Craven Cottage on Friday.Wilting under late pressure is becoming all too familiar for the Americans, who have conceded second-half goals in three consecutive, winless matches.Jozy Altidore had put the U.S. in front from the penalty spot in the 10th minute at Fulhams west London stadium, having scored just once for Sunderland this season.Colombia was the superior side all night but only managed to equalize in the 61st when Carlos Bacca, who had been denied a penalty at the end of the first half, struck the equalizer.Gutierrez then scored in the 87th minute for the win.We will improve, but I like the ambition, Colombia coach Jose Pekerman said.Our midfield was way too eager, he added. Colombia is a team that plays with such attacking swiftness and it would be helpful to have a bit more a pause.The raucous Colombia fans were stunned when the U.S. scored the first goal. Pablo Armero handled in the penalty area, and despite Colombian protests and goalkeeper Camilo Vargas then diving the correct way, Altidores spotkick landed in the net.It was a rare bright moment this season for the Sunderland striker.I know about his difficult situation with his club team, but all we can do is keep our fingers crossed that he solves it, he scores goals, he convinces the (Sunderland) coach to start him, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann saidd. [url=http://www.juventusfcstore.com/authentic-marko-pjaca-juventus-jersey/]Marko Pjaca Jersey[/url]. We know when he comes to us he is full of energy.Despite struggling to find the net, the Colombians were accomplished performers, showing why they are ranked 20 places higher than the No. 23 Americans. James Rodriguez sent a free kick wide, Jeison Murillos looping header was pushed over by U.S. goalkeeper Brad Guzan and Bacca hit the outside of the post after withstanding Jermaine Jones sliding challenge.Bacca was also denied a penalty when his shot struck Jones arm in a crowded penalty as the first half ended.The start of the second half nearly yielded a debut goal for the U.S. from Rubio Rubin. The 18-year-old forward sent a diving header wide from Alejandro Bedoyas cross.But having solidly resisted waves of Colombian attacks all night, the U.S. conceded when Rodriguez weaved into the penalty area before passing to Bacca, who appeared to be offside. And facing no resistance, Bacca darted across the goal and put the ball into net from a tight angle.The pressure intensified on the wilting U.S. defence with Guzan saving shots by Gutierrez and Pablo Armero before being beaten again when Gutierrez headed in Edwin Cardonas cross.Klinsmann blamed another U.S. collapse on the World Cup hangover, with players unable to hold out for 90 minutes.We had many players struggling after the World Cup to get back into shape, especially European players, he said. We had quite a few European players losing their starting spots.
