The Cleveland Cavaliers have been without LeBron James for 7 games and have lost 6 of those games. Cleveland hit a season low Sunday after an ugly loss to Sacramento 103-84, but Cleveland received the best news it possibly could after a loss that LeBron James could possibly practice in Phoenix Monday. There’s still no official word if James will play Tuesday, but one thing is certain Cleveland needs all the help they can get.
With the addition of J.R. Smith and Timofey Mozgov Cleveland made some nice additions, but with the West Coast trip coming up it was expected to be a rough stretch without James. If Cleveland can get James back for at least the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday it would be ideal to finish off the trip on a good note with two wins against The Lakers and Clippers, but that’s if Cleveland can solve some of their own issues on both sides of the ball.
