LeBron James is set to rest for the Cavaliers the third time this season.
CLEVELAND, OHIO— With a tough stretch of schedule coming up for the Cavaliers, LeBron James will sit out Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks in an effort to rest.
The game against Dallas will mark the third game that James has missed this season due to rest, including a game against Miami on December 5, 2015 and February 28 against the Washington Wizards.
The Cavs lost both of those contests by a combined 29 points and have lost 12 of their last 15 games without James over the last two years.
