Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving has played down any injury concerns despite going to ground near the end of the USA's win over the Ukraine.
Irving limped away from the court having come off worse in a tackle, as the US national team looked to build on a first-place group finish in the World Cup of Basketball with a 95-71 victory.
However, the Cleveland guard took to Twitter after the encounter to ease any fears of a serious injury:
Im all good everybody, just a tough fall. Appreciate the concern #ontobarcelona

Despite the controversy, Irving was also able to score 11 points and lead his team with six assists and four steals in the fixture.
