Kyrie Irving said in September he was ready to 'kick some butt' with no restrictions.

Underdog NBA reports that point guard faces a minutes restriction on Friday.

The limitation is related to a knee injury, according to coach May. Irving remains active for the game but will have his playing time capped.

The Mavericks play on Friday. A reduction in Irving's workload leaves additional minutes available for the remaining Dallas guards in the rotation.
