"About 30 minutes after the Cavaliers suffered one of their worst losses of the season, owner Dan Gilbert emerged from coach Byron Scott's office. The entire Cavs braintrust was present for Friday's postgame meeting: General Manager Chris Grant, assistant general managers David Griffin and Michael Blackstone and Scott.
Gilbert's presence in the locker room following a game is rare, but it's not often the home team loses by 37 points and the franchise player leaves the arena with a sprained right shoulder. Yet that's the position the Cavs are in today following a 121-84 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, which was compounded when Kyrie Irving sprained his right shoulder late in the second quarter.
The Cavs have lost six in a row and eight of their past nine, but the bigger issue now is Irving. He was trying to fight through a screen when he ran into Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova and crashed to the floor, injuring the shoulder when he hit the court. It's the same shoulder he separated in his sophomore year of high school, yet Irving played the entire third quarter despite the fact the game was already out of hand.
"I'm in pain right now, but getting through it," Irving said.
It's unclear when Irving mentioned the injury or when he had the shoulder checked, but Scott played all the starters the entire third quarter.
The Bucks led 71-44 at the half and 99-74 entering the fourth quarter. Scott played all five of his starters the entire third quarter hoping to make a dent into the massive deficit. All five starters rested the entire fourth."
