CLEVELAND (AP) – Cavaliers All-Star guard Kyrie Irving will miss his second straight game with a strained left shoulder.

Irving injured his shoulder in the second half Thursday night in a home win over Golden State. He did not travel with the team for Friday night’s game at Indiana and the Cavs said he will also sit out Sunday’s game at Houston.

Irving received more treatment on his shoulder Saturday at the team’s training complex in Independence, Ohio. His status will next be updated at the team’s shootaround on Tuesday before the Cavs host the Boston Celtics.

Cleveland lost 93-86 to the Pacers without Irving and LeBron James, who was kept out with a sore back. James has missed 11 games this season with an assortment of injuries and the team has gone 2-9 without the four-time MVP.

Irving is averaging 21.7 points and 5.2 assists.
