The Cavs are one sick team.
For real.
A nasty flu bug has hit the entire Cavaliers team, including superstar LeBron James. The Cavs star forward was on the practice court Thursday in Independence, but admitted that it's been a tough couple of days trying to fight the flu bug.
Thursday the team sent out an email with a rather long list of players that are either sick or are not going to be with the team when they take on the Spurs Friday night.
Here's the list the team sent out:
Andre Barrett – Flu-like Symptoms – OUT – Will not travel
Daniel Gibson – Bruised Tail Bone - QUESTIONABLE
Danny Green – Right Glute Contusion – OUT
JJ Hickson – Flu-like symptoms – OUT – Will not travel
Darnell Jackson – Flu-like Symptoms – PROBABLE
LeBron James – Flu-like Symptoms – PROBABLE
Coby Karl – Flu-like Symptoms – PROBABLE
Leon Powe – Left Knee Surgery – OUT
Anderson Varejao – Left Wrist Contusion - QUESTIONABLE
Jawad Williams – Flu-like Symptoms – PROBABLE
Mo Williams – Sore Right Groin - Questionable
“If it’s going to happen, now is the best time,” James said. “I don’t wish anyone to be sick. I wish great health for everyone. But if this is the time the flu bug is going to hit our team, I’m glad it’s happening now.”
On a good note, Delonte West traveled with the team to San Antonio, meaning maybe some of his issues are behind him, and hopefully he'll take the court on Friday night.
