The Cleveland Cavaliers face yet another back-to-back set on Monday and Tuesday as they play the Memphis Grizzlies at Columbus, Ohio and the Milwaukee Bucks back in Cleveland. Both teams are expected to send out their regular starters, except for a possible few minors changes.
David Blatt spoke with members of the media on Sunday, and although it has not been made official, LeBron James will reportedly be playing in only one of the two games.
Nothing official yet, but sounds as if LeBron will play Monday at Ohio State, sit Tuesday at home
