CLEVELAND -- LeBron James missed the Cleveland Cavaliers' shootaround with illness and is questionable for the team's home game against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night.
James, who attended the team's practice on Thursday, last missed a game on Feb. 27, which also was against the Pacers. He has missed 11 games this season -- mostly to rest a sore back and wrist -- and the Cavs are just 2-9 in those games.
The Pacers, who are on a three-game losing streak, have fallen out of playoff position in the Eastern Conference. Over the past month they have played the Oklahoma City Thunder without Kevin Durant, the New Orleans Pelicans without Anthony Davis, the Golden State Warriors without Stephen Curry and the Cavs without James and Kyrie Irving in a seven-point win on Feb. 27.
The Cavs are currently on a 14-game home winning streak.
