NEW YORK - Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving suffered a small fracture in his upper left jaw in Friday night's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at The Q, but he was fitted with a mask and will be available to play against the New York Knicks tonight in Madison Square Garden.

Tristan Thompson (nose) and Tyler Zeller (cheekbone) already are wearing masks for the Cavs.

Irving already missed 11 games this season with a fractured left index finger before returning Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. He broke his hand during summer league in Las Vegas.

The latest injury occurred when he drove to the basket in the first quarter and was fouled hard by Bucks forward Luc Mbah a Moute. Irving's head appeared to hit the floor, and he writhed in pain for several minutes before rising and making two free throws. He remained in the game.

A CT scan at the Cleveland Clinic after the game revealed the injury. Irving did not travel with the team on Friday night so he could be fitted with the mask. He was to travel today and join the team here.

Meanwhile, the New York Daily News is reporting that Knicks star Carmelo Anthony will miss tonight's game with a sprained ankle suffered in Thursday's victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
