The NBA’s defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers will close out their current three-game home stand tonight with a matchup against the Orlando Magic inside Quicken Loans Arena at 7:00 p.m.
Shortly before tipoff, Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue announced that Kyle Korver, who has been dealing with foot soreness for quite some time, has been cleared to play in tonight’s game.
Korver has averaged 10.9 points and (.482 percent from beyond the three-point line) and 2.7 rebounds per game for the Cavaliers since his arrival from the Atlanta Hawks before this year’s trade deadline. The smooth-shooting swingman has elected to change basketball shoes in order to combat his foot soreness, opting for a pair of Kyrie Irving’s signature shoes.
With Korver back in the rotation, the Cavs will have all of their players available except for Larry Sanders and Kay Felder, who are on assignment with Canton Charge.
