LeBron James will miss Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers due to rest.

David Blatt said he made the decision to sit James based on “a combination of things” and not one specific ailment.

“It was not his idea, it was mine. Let’s put it that way,” Blatt said. “We have our hand on the pulse of LeBron and all our players. We’re doing what we have to do here to keep our team healthy all the way through the season.”

The Cleveland Cavaliers are 2-8 this season in games without James.
