Larry Hughes was in the starting lineup for Game 4 against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night despite a painful foot injury.

Hughes sustained a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his foot while making a layup in the first quarter of Game 3. He played only 22 minutes and sat the entire fourth quarter of Cleveland's 88-82 win.

After testing the foot on the practice court, Hughes was cleared to play by Cleveland's medical staff.

"I'm going to try it out," said Hughes, who didn't favor the foot as he walked around the building. "From my side, I have to give it a shot. You can limp and walk on the court once your adrenaline gets going."
