Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue made his way to the locker room during the first half of Tuesday night’s 116-98 loss in Orlando to the Magic. It was later revealed that Lue was dealing with an illness and he did not return to his post. However, his status has been upgraded for Wednesday night’s home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to a report from ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
As most hoops fans know, the Cavs, now tied for the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference with the Washington Wizards, have struggled to find any sort of rhythm as of late. In fact, they’ve lost nine of their last 13 games. Without a doubt, coach Lue will be looking for improvement from his team.
The Timberwolves are certainly a good team, so coach Lue will have his hands full. Coming into their match-up with the Cavs, their the No, 1 team in the Northwest Division standings with 34-22 overall record.
Wednesday night’s game is set to tip at 8:00 p.m. EST inside Quicken Loans Arena with ESPN and Fox Sports Ohio having live broadcast coverage.
