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.
