MIAMI (AP) – Heat forward LeBron James sat out Friday’s practice as a precautionary measure, not wanting to take any risks after dealing with hamstring pain earlier this week.
James cramped up in the third quarter of Miami’s exhibition win over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night, missing the rest of that game and the Heat preseason matchup in New Orleans the following night. Miami did not practice Thursday.
The team expects that James will be able to practice Saturday.
Other Miami players sidelined Friday included guards Dwyane Wade (hamstring) and Mario Chalmers (ankle). Wade was in Chicago testifying in a trial that’ll decide custody of his two sons.
