Kyrie Irving is hoping to get back on the court in two and a half weeks.
The reigning Rookie of the Year said his splint will be coming off soon. He added that doctors said his hand is healing well and he can't wait to return. Irving was one of the best value picks in fantasy drafts last year, but this year it will likely cost owners at least a second-round pick. While the value won't be there, the top pick in the 2011 NBA Draft may wind up being the best player on a lot of fantasy teams for the upcoming season.
