"He's better," Silas said. "Hopefully by Saturday he will be back. He can't really push off on it yet." After facing the Kings, the Cavaliers host Philadelphia on Saturday.</div> Full Story
For some reason I don't think LeBron will be ready. It takes more than a week to shake off a sprained ankle.
unfortunate too. I got ticket's to this one was looking forward to seeing A.I. and lebron light it up.
Iverson should bring enough entertainment. Geezus LeBron get some Ben-Ghey and get on the court! We need you.
LeBron to miss 3rd game <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CLEVELAND -- LeBron James will likely miss his third strait game with a sprained ankle. The Cleveland Cavaliers said their star rookie was at Friday's practice, but did not take part in running drills. The Cavs play the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. James has been out since injuring his ankle Jan. 17 at Utah. James is the team's leading scorer at 20.4 points per game. He also averages 5.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists. The Cavs are 1-1 without James. </div> www.espn.com

James `probable' but still unlikely tonight <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Cavs rookie continues to favor ankle during light drills at practice One of the NBA's best young stars will be playing tonight at Gund Arena. He just probably won't be wearing wine and gold. LeBron James was upgraded from doubtful to probable by the Cavaliers after practice Sunday as the team prepared for tonight's home game with Tracy McGrady and the Orlando Magic. It set off a tizzy of expectations that James will be back to his old self after a week on the shelf in time to match up with T-Mac. But despite the rhetoric, it doesn't look like there will be another James-McGrady duel like the one that produced great theatrics on Christmas Day when McGrady's 41 points led his team past James and his 34 points. James participated in his most extensive practice Sunday since spraining his right ankle nine days ago in Utah. But he was still very tentative on the foot and didn't do any full-court work. James did not do any jumping, either, and was favoring the ankle during light five-on-five drills.</div> Full Story
Im not suprised that he is favoring the ankle at all. Silias doesn't want to rush it. He believes that LeBron would actually be a liability if he does take court. LeBron wants to make sure he is 100% before taking stage so his confidence level remains high.
I say leave him out too, the Cavs can play well enough to beat Orlando, I would not play him tonight either.
