CHICAGO (AP) -With the league’s best record locked up and their eyes on a playoff run, the Cleveland Cavaliers held LeBron James out of Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bulls.
Coach Mike Brown said James has “some bumps and bruises” and acknowledged that recent injuries to Milwaukee’s Andrew Bogut and Toronto’s Chris Bosh weighed on his mind. So he decided to rest his superstar.
James is a game-time decision for Friday’s matchup with Indiana.
The Cavaliers were missing two superstars, with Shaquille O’Neal nursing a badly sprained right thumb. Delonte West also missed his second straight game with lower back spasms.
Sebastian Telfair, however, was active for the first time since the Cavaliers acquired him from the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-team deal.
