he Cavs released this statement about LeBron James’ injured finger: “Cavaliers forward LeBron James experienced a sprained left index finger late in the second quarter of the Cavaliers game against the Detroit Pistons last night. He did not return to the game after half-time. X-rays taken at the arena were negative and he traveled with the team to Toronto after the game. LeBron underwent a MRI today at Cleveland Clinic Toronto which confirmed the sprain. He is currently listed as day to day and will be a game time decision for tomorrow night’s game in Toronto against the Raptors.”
Overall, it is good news for the team because there was concern there could be something more serious in there. It takes a lot to keep James out of the lineup, but I expect the Cavs to be very cautious with this injury. They won’t want him to re-injure it so quickly. At the very least, though, this is the type of injury that can linger for weeks. That is nothing new, James plays with nagging stuff all the time.

Meh he should take the night off. Any excuse he can get to take a night off he should with the minutes he plays. We might not even lose if guys step up. I think last time our team got caught off guard and were devestated. But with time to prepare I think they may be able to raise their level for a game. So long as it's just one.

The only thing bad about these type of injuries is they can just be nagging for a long time. Losing Lebron even for a few more games may hurt us this year. Detroit, Bucks, and even the Pacers are playing like above .500 teams just in our division.

I expect the Bucks to cool down eventually. And the Pacers as well. Detroit and Chicago are still our main rivals despite what their records say. At least it's not on his shooting hand. It could affect his finishing ability though. As well as his ball handling.
