Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Kyrie Irving could make his return soon, while Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal was ruled out for the next two weeks.

Irving, who has not played since Game 1 of their 2015 NBA Finals match against the Golden State Warriors, is ready to play. ESPN sources revealed that Irving was given green light to play over a week ago, but the Cavaliers are just taking a cautious approach.

Recent rumors indicated that Irving could make his season debut in their playoff rematch against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, but Cavaliers coach David Blatt said the All-Star will not play in Boston.

"We've still got some things that we want to go through with him before we let him get back out there," Blatt said via Cleveland.com. "But he is looking good and feeling good. He still has some testing to do and we'd like him to work a few more days in practice."

According to reports, the 23-year-old guard could take court against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, but the home game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday is viewed as the most likely return date for Irving, which means that he will be ready for their finals rematch with the Warriors on Christmas Day.

Cavaliers superstar LeBron James said that it will be "great to have bodies" in their upcoming games after also welcoming Iman Shumpert back to the lineup on Friday against the Orlando Magic after recovering from a wrist injury.

"Coach is going to have a great opportunity to do what he wants to do with the lineups," James said. "We're just missing one more piece and once we get that, we can really start to see what we're capable of doing."

Meanwhile, the Wizards took a big blow as Beal will not be in uniform for at least two weeks after test shows beginnings of a stress reaction in his lower right fibula, ESPN reported. Beal has had history of stress reactions in his right lower leg since the first time it happened in October 2013.

"It's part of the game," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said of Beal's injury. "He's been through it. We know the protocol, what needs to take place. We've got to sustain without him."

Beal is averaging a career-high 19.8 points on 43.8 percent shooting from the field to go along with 4.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
