The Cavaliers star second-year player will miss tonight?s game against Milwaukee due to lingering effects from a sprained left ankle versus Memphis last Wednesday.

This is the second straight game Mr. James has missed due to the injury.

The Cavaliers have reportedly signed veteran big man, Keon Clark to a 10-day contract.

Clark missed most of last season with numerous injuries, and has not played at all this year. The Cavs had interest in Clark during the off-season, but neither side could agree to terms on a deal.

Clark is a wiry, 6-11 forward/center who plays with an aggressive attitude. He's also a proven shot blocker. He has career averages of 8.2 points and 5.9 rebounds.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are targeting Keon Clark to bolster their frontline, as rookie Anderson Varejao is out four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain.

A 10-day contract is expected to be the offer given to Clark.

He missed almost all of last season with injuries, but has averaged 8.2 points and 5.9 rebounds over his career. The last time he played regularly, for the Sacramento Kings in the 2003 playoffs, he was a difference-maker off the bench.

LeBron James shook off a sprained left ankle to help the Cavaliers defeat the short-staffed Grizzlies 114-111 Wednesday night.  

James finished with 27 points, 15 assists and 9 rebounds, narrowly missing another triple-double.  It looked as though James' night was over when he twisted his ankle with 9:23 left and the Cavaliers up by 10. But after being helped off the floor, James dramatically returned with 4:53 remaining and helped close out Memphis

Cleveland?s oft-injured guard Dujuan Wagner is back in the hospital with a stomach ailment.

Wagner is experiencing additional effects from colitis, an inflamed large intestine.  

This marks the latest medical setback for Wagner.  The former first-round draft pick?s NBA career has been marred with various injuries.

The Cavaliers rookie, Anderson Varejao could be out as long as six weeks with a severely sprained left ankle.  

"It's a big blow right now to lose anybody on our team, we can't afford it," LeBron James said. "His energy and rebounding has really helped us."

The 6-foot-10 Brazilian was a crucial bench player for the Cav?s averaging 4.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in just 13.7 minutes.

The Cleveland Cavaliers? LeBron James and the Dallas Mavericks? Jason Terry today were named the Eastern Conference and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Monday, January 17 through Sunday, January 23.

James led the Cavaliers to a 2-1 week, averaging 24.7 points on 55.9% shooting, 10.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 2.0 steals in 41.3 minutes per game.  James became the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double when he posted 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists at Portland on January 19. Three days later, he posted another triple-double with 28 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists on January 22 against Golden State.

Terry led the Mavericks to a perfect 4-0 week, averaging 18.3 points on 72.1% shooting and 69.2% three-point shooting, 6.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in wins over Washington, L.A. Clippers, Charlotte and Denver.  Terry had only five turnovers in 156 minutes played to record a 4.8 assist per turnover ratio and a 1.6 steal per turnover ratio.

Other nominees for Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week were Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki, Golden State?s Jason Richardson, Indiana?s Jamaal Tinsley, Minnesota?s Wally Szczerbiak, New Jersey?s Vince Carter, New Orleans? Dan Dickau, Orlando?s Steve Francis, Philadelphia?s Allen Iverson,  Portland?s  Damon Stoudamire, San Antonio?s Manu Ginobili, Toronto?s Jalen Rose and Washington?s Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison.

Mike Tulumello of the East Valley Tribune report that the Seattle Super Sonics and star shooter Ray Allen appear to be no closer to an agreement on a new contract which will keep Allen in Seattle beyond this season, but neither side is panicking just yet.

The Sonics offer - $68 million over five years, with a starting salary of $11 million, is $3.5 million less than what Allen is making now, but it would still keep him as the highest paid player on the team.

Allen doesn?t appear willing to agree right now, and the Sonics don?t seem willing to change their offer much, either. Both sides indicate the trade deadline next month isn?t a drop-dead date, but Tulumello reports that?s how it could play out.

Allen has said he would consider playing for the Cavaliers if it came down to it when he becomes a free agent at the end of the season. There?s one major reason why he would play in Cleveland despite the brutal snow and cold.

"LeBron James has taken his game to another level," Allen said. "And a lot of those guys have fed off of him.

"Anytime he plays hard and puts that passion into the team it makes them better."

A new collective bargaining agreement could dictate the amount that Allen will be able to sign for with any team, with maximum contract lengths set to be a key item for discussion between the league, the owners and the players.

LeBron James had his second triple-double in three games, getting 28 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 105-87 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night.

Jason Richardson scored 22 points for the losing Warriors.

Cavaliers guard Jeff McInnis is probable for tonight?s game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a sprained left foot.  If he is unable to suit up, guard Eric Snow will get his first start of the season.

McInnis? injury took place versus the Sacramento Kings last Thursday and did not appear to be all the serious at first.

``I didn't think it was this serious. I guess it started hurting him late last night,'' coach Paul Silas said. ``Eric has to step up. He's been there before, and that's why we brought him in.''
