- Frank Vogel giving a LeBron James injury update:
“With the heavy load that he's carrying for us this year, we know that it's always a possibility. I think that's why we continue to list him as questionable to see how it's responding over the 48 hours between games. And this is just one of those days where it was significant enough to hold him out … Health takes precedence over any matchup, any individual one game, for sure.”
