Cavaliers choose to rest James against Pacers
INDIANAPOLIS — LeBron James will sit out the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday for rest, the team announced several hours before tipoff.
James, fresh off receiving NBA player of the month honors for March when he averaged 25.6 points on 53.8 percent shooting, 8.2 rebounds and 7.1 assists, has repeatedly said in recent weeks just how good his body is feeling compared with this time a year ago.
Nevertheless, with one week and four games remaining in the regular season, the Cavs figure it is more beneficial to give the 13-year veteran a night off with the playoffs approaching.
The Cavs are 1-3 this season and 4-13 the past two seasons in games James sits out.
