We all know concussions are getting a great deal of attention lately. And they're about to get much more with the announcement that Cleveland Cavaliers star point guard Kyrie Irving has a concussion. Irving suffered the concussion when his head hit the knee of Miami's Dwyane Wade last week. The NBA implemented a new concussion policy before this season and it is much more strict than in previous years. Certain steps must be completed before the player can return to the court.Cavs coach Byron Scott has said back when he played when he had a headache he would just take some asprins. This shows how much the treatment and awareness of concussions has changed over the years. It looks as if Kyrie won't be back until at least Wednesday this week. The Cavs record without their star point guard has been 1-2 so I'm sure they're hoping for a quick recovery for Kyrie. As long as he's back before LeBron James' return to Cleveland on February 17th, I'm okay with it.
