NBA: Cleveland Cavaliers start without a key player
Cleveland Cavaliers on the night of Wednesday will begin preseason. At the start of the season they will have to deal with LeBron James.
According to ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin, LeBron James will not play in the first match of the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an ankle injury.
LBJ got injured during training the previous week. In one of the actions he landed on the teammate's foot and turned his ankle. The Cavalry leader's injury is not very serious, but the training staff wants to give him as much time as he needs to get to full fitness.
The upcoming season will be 15th on James' performance on the NBA. So far, its average statistics have stood at 27.1 points, 7 assists and 7.3 rebounds. In his career he has three championship titles - two from the Miami Heat and one from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
