LeBron ready to return against 76ers Friday
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) -Cavaliers star LeBron James is tired of watching basketball and ready to start playing again.
James missed two games after twisting his right ankle last Friday against Detroit, but is likely to play at Philadelphia on Friday night.
He says he would have played through the injury had it been the playoffs, but instead the team chose to be cautious. While sidelined, James watched his alma mater win an Ohio high school playoff game.
The news isn't as good for teammate Antawn Jamison. Cavs coach Mike Brown says there is a good chance that Jamison will miss Friday's game because of a cyst behind his left knee. He sat out the fourth quarter of Cleveland's win Monday against San Antonio.
