LeBron James limited in practice by back issue

LeBron James did some "light work" on the court Thursday and has yet to practice fully since receiving an anti-inflammatory injection in his back Oct. 13.

"We're being very conscientious and cautious with him in terms of his feeling," Cavs coach David Blatt said. "He's fine and he's gonna be fine, but we're just going slowly and carefully with him. He'll be out there very soon."

General Manager David Griffin said James' activity the past two days was part of a planned rest period and there is no concern about his availability for the opener.
