LeBron James might miss some time due to a tweak in his knee. This could cause him to miss the Cleveland Cavaliers’ matchup with James’ former team, the Miami Heat.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had their way with the Orlando Magic on Sunday evening, cruising to a 123-108 victory. The Cavs have won four games in a row and seem to be peaking at the right time as the playoffs are just around the corner.
But even with all this good news, the Cavs shouldn’t celebrate for too long. Apparently, LeBron James is feeling a little shaken up after tweaking his knee in the third quarter.
LeBron tweaked knee in 3rd qtr. "Scary moment for myself." He finished the game. Will get treatment and see how it feels Monday in MIA.

Hopefully for the Cavaliers and LeBron it is nothing too serious. The playoffs start on April 19th and if the Cavs plan on maintaining their #2 seed status in the Eastern Conference, they will probably need King James to be healthy.

But even without James, the Cavs might still have a chance. Kyrie Irving is playing some of the best basketball of his career. He has scored 90 points the past two games and has only missed one 3-pointer. It seems that this potential injury is untimely, as Irving has finally figured out how to gel with LeBron.
The Cavs have gone 1-7 this year without LeBron. So as Cleveland takes on the Heat tomorrow night, LeBron being in the lineup will definitely be a major factor in the game. Hopefully this “tweak” is just a minor thing that goes away in the coming days.
