But rumblings about his health continue.

The Cavaliers and Warriors meet in Game 6 of the Finals, with the Warriors owning a 3-2 advantage and a chance to capture their second straight title.
First, it was fans attempting to raise enough money for the Cavaliers to pay Love to actually sit out Thursday’s do-or-die Game 6 outing in Cleveland.
Asked if he was anxious Curry could face a suspension for Sunday’s game seven, a smiling Kerr said: “No, I’m not concerned about that”. “There’s a historical kind of expectation of the all-time greats that have had Finals moments and these kinds of numbers and those kinds of numbers”.
Game 6 can be viewed online via WatchESPN.
Draymond Green is back, and he’d like nothing more than to help the Golden State Warriors do the same thing June 16, 2016 – on the same court, no less – that they did exactly one year ago.
The remorseful Green was looking for redemption. So it got the best of me, but I’ll be all right for the next game.
The Warriors went small, moving Green to center and starting Iguodala at power forward. They’re not going to lay down.
Capable of playing point guard on offense and center on defense, Green is a matchup nightmare, not to mention Golden State’s emotional leader.
CRAIG SAGER, the longtime sideline reporter, was added to ESPN’s broadcast team for Game 6 and will work a game in the National Basketball Association finals for the first time.
James when facing elimination is usually a tough out. It was elimination game LeBron James at his finest, 41 points, 11 assists, eight rebounds, four steals, and three locks. The Cavs built a 24-point lead in the third, and when J.R. Smith blindly dropped a lob pass to a trailing James for a dunk, Quicken Loans shook with noise and thousands of fans packing a plaza outside the building began thinking about where they might watch Game 7. “But the opportunity is there, and I think we’re a very poised group that’s ready for it. So it should be fun”. “He’s not going to put himself at risk of missing another game”.
“I don’t go into game six thinking, ‘Will my patience be tested?” I understand the magnitude of it, but it doesnt bother me too much.
“I owe it to my teammates to come back and give all I have, all I can do to better the situation”, Green said Wednesday.
His masterful dribbling and mind-blowing shot-making ability come from countless hours of practice.
Curry made six 3-pointers, giving him a total of 28 in the series — the most by anyone in an NBA Finals.
Nobody will remember this down the road if we get this done tomorrow night, Curry said.
Curry fouled out with 4:22 to play. He suffered ankle and knee injuries in the first round of the playoffs.
Frustrated Curry, the NBA Most Valuable Player and scoring leader, led the Warriors with 30 points but was ejected for the first time in his career, fouling out for the first time since 2013 then hurling his mouthpiece into the crowd in anger to earn banishment to the locker room.
