The Cavaliers announced in a release Thursday that multiple examinations, incl
uding an MRI, showed that James has knee and back strains. The tests were perf
ormed Wednesday before the Cavs lost their third straight game, a 96-80 loss t
o the Milwaukee Bucks.
James will undergo several forms of treatment, including anti-inflammatories,
the team said. The four-time MVP has missed Cleveland's past two games.
James aggravated his nagging knee injury on Christmas Day in Miami while jumpi
ng over a row of courtside seats. He acknowledged that the knee has been "hurt
ing pretty much all year" on Wednesday, one day after his 30th birthday.
"I've been playing with it, and it goes away and comes back," he said. "So, th
e one in Miami kind of reaggravated it when I came out of the game in the thir
d quarter."
Even though James was not required to speak to the media Wednesday because he
was out of the lineup, he made himself available to answer a slew of questions
in the locker room before the Bucks game about his health and the controversy
surrounding his commitment to staying in Cleveland beyond this summer.
