The severity of the illness is unknown at this time, and it’s likely that a
decision on James’ status won’t be made until later in the evening. In the event
that James, who recorded an 18-point, 15-assist, 13-rebound triple-double
Thursday against New York, doesn’t play, Kyrie Irving would handle more of the
playmaking duties, while Derrick Williams and Richard Jefferson would be in line
for increased minutes.
