The Cavaliers have been extremely fortunate in the preseason with regard to injuries.

All of that almost ended with 11 minutes, 42 seconds left in the second quarter when Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas banged knees with Raptors guard Fred Jones.

Ilgauskas immediately called time out and limped off the court, sending shock waves through the Air Canada Centre.

He sat out the second half for what the Cavaliers termed precautionary reasons, as they stumbled for the third consecutive game, 91-90, to unbeaten Toronto on Sunday.
