According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James will miss the next two weeks due to strains in his left knee and lower back.
The Cleveland Cavaliers (18-14) sit currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, are 5-7 in their last 12 games, and after a conversation with former Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade surfaced Wednesday stating that he wanted to reunite with him, James sat out the last two Cleveland games—both losses to Atlanta and Milwaukee due to knee injuries.
James’ injury is a big blow to a Cavaliers team with title aspirations, his first year back in his home state. For the year, the four-time NBA MVP and two-time NBA champion has averaged 25.2 points, 7.6 assists and 5.3 rebounds in 30 games.
