LeBron James' sore right elbow is not considered a serious injury by team doctors and no additional MRI was ordered. "It felt good today," James said Thursday after practice. "It didn't flare up at all. We had contact drills and I was able to go through the whole practice and it didn't flare up one time, so that's a good sign. It's still a little bit sore, but it's much better. I did treatment the last two days and I believe it will be fine for the game." http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2010/columns/story?page=cavsgame3pregame-100507
LeBron James has mostly played it coy when it comes to his injured right elbow, saying he's not using it as an excuse for his play. But yesterday at practice, he opened up some and talked about how it was specifically affecting his game. "If it's hurting throughout the game, there's no way it can stay off your mind," James said. "You want to be conscious about it, but at the same time, I've got to be able to pull through it and find a way to try to help the team. It doesn't change my approach. But if you're dribbling up and down the court and you can feel a twinge or you feel it lock up, it's going to stop you from doing some things that you usually would be able to do. It is what it is and I've got to play with it." Despite this, LeBron did tell reporters yesterday that: "It felt good today. It didn't flare up at all." And as Brian Windhorst writes, no team sources have indicated the injury is serious. So while it may be bugging James here and there, for now, expect him to keep playing heavy minutes in these playoffs.
Exactly, it's been prepared before the playoffs started, it's a way to get out of Cleveland, he'll say his elbow was injured and he had no back up from his team and they lost to Celtics/Magic, then he'll leave for a bigger market.
hey we owned them at their home, we had to give them one in boston we're still winning the series, you better beat the suns if you want a rematch
