Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving confirmed that he’ll return to action on Tuesday night after missing two games with a bruised left knee.

The fourth-year veteran said he felt his knee “buckle” against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Dec. 11 after making contact with Russell Westbrook, but was able to re-enter the game after briefly heading to the locker room for treatment. He re-aggravated the injury late in the fourth quarter of the Cavs’ 101-91 loss to the Miami Heat last Thursday, when he hyperextended his left knee while trying to make a play in the paint.

The Cavs were 1-1 in the two games without Irving, winning Friday against the Magic, 98-89, but losing by 23 points at home to the Pistons in the second game, 103-80.

Irving is averaging 20.2 points and 5.3 assists in 28 games. He’s shooting a career-high 47 percent.
