According to the official NBA website, the 30-year-old forward James still not doing full-blown practice due to his recent back injection. However,e James did some 'light work' on the court on Thursday with fellow Cavs gearing up for an opener on Tuesday in Chicago. The site added that the restriction in James' practice was due to his anti-inflammatory shot at the back, which was the same to the previous one he had during the early part of last season when he was slowed by his knee and back issues.
"We're being very conscientious and cautious with him in terms of his feeling," coach David Blatt said. "He's fine and he's going to be fine. We're just going slowly and carefully with him. He'll be out there very soon."
