| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - LeBron James was in the Cavaliers' starting lineup on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers, returning from a two-game absence. The short respite did little to curb James' production, as he had 23 points, 10 assists and six rebounds in guiding Cleveland to a 100-95 victory over Philadelphia. James missed a loss to the Bucks last Saturday and a win over the Spurs on Monday in an effort to rest a twisted right ankle he suffered against Detroit on March 5th. Coming into Friday's |
