Cleveland star LeBron James was scratched from the NBA game against Portland and the Cavaliers said he could also miss their Friday contest because of a sprained wrist.
The four-time league MVP injured his right wrist against Detroit on Tuesday when he hit the floor awkwardly under the basket after trying to block a shot.
He is averaging 26.4 points, 7.4 assists and 5.6 rebounds in 37 games since returning to the Cavaliers in the offseason.
The Cavaliers are 1-8 in games without him this season.
