CLEVELAND (AP) Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas is expected to play Friday against Philadelphia with a custom-made face mask to protect his broken nose.

Ilgauskas left Tuesday night's loss to Phoenix when he banged into Amare Stoudemire in the third quarter. Ilgauskas, who had 14 points in the 103-86 loss, has been playing well this season, averaging 15.4 points and 2.5 blocks a game.

He is expected to practice Thursday after being fitted for the mask at the Cleveland Clinic.

In addition to Ilgauskas' injury, point guard Jeff McInnis' bruised right shoulder is painful and affecting his play. McInnis shot 0-of-7 Tuesday in his first start since missing two games with the injury. He scored eight points from the foul line and had five assists.

``I think I'm going to have to shut it down and wait until I'm 100 percent,'' McInnis said. He said he was unsure whether he will play Friday.

Cleveland is a half-game ahead of Boston for the eighth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
