CLE Irving Kyrie?  SQUARESPACE CACHEVERSION=1396443124337NBA via Cleveland Cavaliers(CLEVELAND) — Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star Kyrie Irving is ready to get back on the court.

Irving has been sidelined the past eight games due to a bicep injury, but practiced with the team for the first time in two weeks on Tuesday.

“I feel good,” Irving said. “It was great to be back out there. It was definitely hard for me these last two weeks just sitting on the bench. But as always, if I go down, I’m the biggest cheerleader.”

The Cavaliers will take on the Orlando Magic on Wednesday and Irving is unsure if he’ll play, but will consult with the medical staff following the shootaround.

“If I’m ready to go, I see no reason to stop me,” Irving said. “But obviously everyone has their reason, as we know in this business. Obviously, you have a respect for it, but as a basketball player and as a competitor, there’s an inner drive to be back out there. We’ll see what happens.”

The team has gone 4-4 during Irving’s absence and trail the Hawks by three games for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
