LeBron James returns vs. Kings

NBA, Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings

LeBron James was back in the lineup Friday night as the Cavaliers took on the Sacramento Kings in Cleveland.

James had been considered doubtful with a sprained right wrist. He sat out Wednesday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers with the injury.

James suffered the sprain in the final seconds of the third quarter of Cleveland's win Tuesday in Detroit when he tumbled over Pistons guard Jodie Meeks and broke the fall with his hands.

James received an MRI at the Cleveland Clinic on Wednesday afternoon that revealed the extent of the injury.

Tests showed no structural damage in his wrist, a source told ESPN.com.

Wednesday's game marked James' 10th missed game this season, the most he has missed in a single season in his career.
