LeBron James is expected to play tonight against the Pacers »

We are sure all the fans have had enough of seeing LeBron James on the sidelines wearing his street clothes. With his sprained left index finger sufficiently healed, James is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday night when the Cavaliers host the Indiana Pacers. James hurt his finger midway through the second quarter of Cleveland’s loss to Detroit on Nov. 28. His absence in the second half turned a close game into a 109-74 win for the Pistons, and the Cavaliers (9-12) have lost their last five without him. Following practice on Monday, though, James said the finger has improved and sounded confident he would dress for this contest.

LeBron James misses third consecutive game due to finger injury »

James might be out for rest of week due to sprained left finger. The Cavaliers keep saying they are thinking “day-to-day” about LeBron James, but in reality, it is more month-to-month. It isn’t the sprain to James’ left index finger that the Cavs are worried about, it’s the potential of a resprain — which is why he sat out his third consecutive game Tuesday. According to team sources, he’s very likely to sit out tonight’s game at the Washington Wizards, and he might even sit out the rest of the week. The Cavs are wary about James’ finger becoming an issue for the rest of the season, because his fingers and hands take such a beating during the course of a normal game. Opposing teams will certainly be aware of it and might even target James’ hand, especially as they slap at the ball as he drives to the basket often. Source: Ohio.com.

Cavaliers forward LeBron James experienced a sprained left index finger late in the second quarter of the Cavaliers game against the Detroit Pistons last night. He did not return to the game after half-time. X-rays taken at the arena were negative and he traveled with the team to Toronto after the game. LeBron underwent a MRI today at Cleveland Clinic Toronto which confirmed the sprain. He is currently listed as day to day and will be a game time decision for tomorrow night’s game in Toronto against the Raptors. He had 15 points and three assists in the first half, accounting for more than one-third of the Cavs’ points, in a rematch of the Eastern Conference finals. Cleveland was lost without him.

LeBron comments on his injury »

James twisted his ankle during last game while wearing a new style of sneaker, the latest model in his sponsor’s line that he unveiled for the playoffs: Nike Zoom Soldier. He’s not thinking of switching sneakers, and can only wonder what would have happened had he been wearing the shoes of a rival company…

I probably would have broken my ankle.
