CLEVELAND -- Kyrie Irvings stint as part-time cheerleader and coach is finally over. Its time for the All-Star guard to get back on the court. Irving practiced with his Cavaliers teammates for the first time in two weeks Tuesday after missing eight games with a biceps injury. Irving took some contact during his first workout since straining a left biceps tendon March 16 against the Los Angeles Lakers. "I feel good," Irving said. "It was great to be back out there. It was definitely hard for me these last two weeks just sitting on the bench. But as always, if I go down, Im the biggest cheerleader. " Irving doesnt know yet if hell play Wednesday in Orlando, a key game in the Cavs playoff push. Hell take part in the shootaround and then consult with the medical staff. The third-year pro, who has missed 49 games because of injuries during his NBA career, said whether he plays is not entirely his call. "If Im ready to go, I see no reason to stop me," he said. "But obviously everyone has their reason, as we know in this business. Obviously, you have a respect for it, but as a basketball player and as a competitor, theres an inner drive to be back out there. Well see what happens." Irvings return comes as the Cavs enter their biggest games this season. While he was out, the team went 4-4 and climbed into playoff contention in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland trails Atlanta by three games for the No. 8 spot. After playing the Magic, the Cavs face the Hawks on Friday in Atlanta. "Im excited just to be a part of it every single day," Irving said. "When we talked at the beginning of the season, we said, Aw, we need to figure this out, we need to figure that out, but now, as Im watching the team, even late in games we get down 14, 16 with five minutes left to go in the game, and teams just cant score against us in that last five minutes. "Weve learned how to buckle down. Were finding ways to win and learning how to win. On the road -- or at home. Its fun to watch." Irving doesnt think his return will disrupt the clubs new chemistry. "These guys trust me and I trust them," he said. "Were all teammates. Ive been staying locked in with them since I got hurt, which has been really important for me, and really good for my growth." Cavs coach Mike Brown said Irving has contributed despite not playing. "A guy like Kyrie can be a game-changer even if hes not in uniform," Brown said. "Guys listen to him, guys respect him. If they see hes engaged, it makes the team that much more connected. Hes helped in that area, in that connectivity." Brown said Irvings playing time might be limited when he returns. More certain is that the Cavs on Wednesday night will be without forward Anderson Varejao, who sprained his shoulder Sunday against Indiana. Its not clear if hell miss more time. Rookie Anthony Bennett was excused from the team so he could return to Toronto because of a "family health matter." He will not be with the team in Orlando or Atlanta. Vapormax Plus Pas Cher .

Vapormax Nere Pas Cher . While Chelsea stayed two points behind leader Arsenal courtesy of Etoos hat trick, seventh-place United slipped 14 points from the summit this weekend. And the gap from the Champions League places is growing as well, with Liverpool six points ahead in fourth.Everton forward Romelu Lukaku is right to look for Champions League football next season, according to The Sun’s deputy head of sport Martin Lipton. Lukaku cast doubt on his Everton future after telling Sky Sports News HQ that the Champions League is the next step for him, with Roberto Martinezs side 13 points behind Manchester City in the final top-four qualification spot.Speaking on the Sunday Supplement, Lipton believes Lukaku can still improve as a player, but has the quality to play at the highest level. He feels he should be playing in the Champions League and hes probably right, Lipton said. Look at his goals. Im sure he wouldnt be unhappy to do it at Everton, but thats not going to happen next season.Hes been excellent since he moved there and scored lots of goals. Hes a top player and a goalscorer, and hes still learning and growing as a player. Lukaku says he would like to play in the Champions League next year Its interesting that Chelsea looked at him and didnt fancy him under a couple of different managers. Jose Mourinho decided he was surplus to requirements when they brought in Diego Costa, and I wonder what Chelsea fans think of that now.Lukaku - who left Chelsea permanently in 2014 - has scored 43 league goals for Everton and, of players under the age of 23 in European footballs five major leagues, only Tottenhams Harry Kane has more goals this season.It is a reccord that has prompted speculation he could leave Goodison Park in the summer, with the players father suggesting Manchester United or Bayern Munich could be options for his son.dddddddddddd Lukaku has scored 18 goals in 28 Premier League appearances this season Chelsea, who are 10 points off fourth with eight games remaining, have also been linked with a bid to re-sign their former player, but The Times Alyson Rudd says they dont have a chance because they are unlikely to be playing Champions League football next season.Chelsea are not going to buy him back because theyre not in the Champions League so he wont go there, Rudd said. In 20 years time when we look back at the career of Jose Mourinho, hopefully for him the massive blip this year at Chelsea will look odd and out of place. Most of the decisions he makes seem to be the right ones, and if all Lukaku needed was an arm around the shoulder, I dont see why you cant give a player that.That seemed to be the message coming out of Stamford Bridge. A young player misses one penalty, his head goes down and you give up on him? I dont see the logic at all.Lipton also urged Lukaku to pay attention to fellow Belgian striker Christian Bentekes experience at Liverpool. Benteke has struggled since making the move from Aston Villa. Christian Benteke (left) has struggled since his move to Liverpool Look at Christian Benteke, he thrives when hes told how great he is but hes found it much harder to cope with the goldfish bowl at Liverpool, where theres much more expectation on him, he added.It may be that Lukaku is better out of the spotlight, and well find out when he gets under the spotlight. At this juncture we dont really know because he didnt play enough for Chelsea. The only thing you remember is when he walked up and missed the penalty in the Super Cup final.
