Kyrie Irving has said that he does not expect to miss any playing time after injuring his knee during the Cleveland Cavaliers' defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder last night.
The point guard came off worse after clashing knees with Russell Westbrook late in the second quarter of the 103-94 defeat.
The Australian told reporters: "It will definitely stiffen up on me, without a doubt, but I plan on playing [on Friday].
"It just depends on how it feels in the morning. But as of right now, I'm going to gut it out, no matter what."
The Cavaliers face the New Orleans Pelicans later today.
