LeBron James is scared to face the Indiana Pacers. Obviously.
The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar missed shootaround in advance of his team’s game with the Pacers on Friday and is questionable to play.
LeBron James was sick and did not attend shootaround this morning. He's questionable for tonight's game against Pacers.

James sat out of the teams’ last meeting – a Cavaliers loss – on February 27 to rest a sore back. He scored 25 points on 21 shots and committed seven turnovers in Cleveland’s winning streak-ending loss to the Pacers on February 6, and managed only 19 points on 18 shots in Cleveland’s lone win over Indy back in November.
At 44-26, the Cavaliers have a two game lead on the Toronto Raptors for second in the Eastern Conference. The 30-37 Pacers, meanwhile, are tied with the Boston Celtics for the conference’s eighth and final playoff spot.
Cleveland and Indiana tip-off from Quicken Loans Arena at 7:30 EST.
