Cavs reportedly planning to rest LeBron

LeBron James' sore back has progressed as hoped during the Cavaliers' first two weeks, and there are numerous exhibits to submit as evidence.

But the Cavs remain diligent in their monitoring and concern over James' health, to the point of plotting areas on the schedule where they could rest him, according to a team source.

There are no set-in-stone plans to sit James yet, but the reality is that he will not reach the goal he laid out last week of playing in all 82 regular-season games.
