LeBron James sits out because of sore left knee

Cavaliers coach David Blatt said LeBron James' sore left knee was "nothing major" and the superstar was held out against the Oklahoma City Thunder as a precaution.

"I really don't believe we have any kind of serious situation on our hands, just some soreness," Blatt said, prior to Cleveland's 103-94 loss to the Thunder.

The last game James played – Tuesday night's 105-101 win over Toronto – was his best scoring game in weeks. He poured in 35 points, including a dagger three-pointer late that tied a franchise record for career three-pointers with Mark Price at 802.
