The brother of Larry Hughes died on Thursday after a lifelong struggle with cardiac problems and the team does not expect the starting guard to be available for Game 3 versus Detroit.

"Not having him around affects us, and then when you think about why he's not around, you feel it a lot more," forward LeBron James said Friday. "We have to clear our mind the best we can, and get ready for Game 3.

"Honestly no -- I don't expect him to come back. It would be a big surprise if he does come back."
