CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao returned to the court where his season came to an end last December.

Cleveland point guard Kyrie Irving, who is recovering from a knee injury, is also not expected to play Wednesday.
Thompson reportedly wants a maximum contract from the club over five years, which they are unwilling to meet after handing out deals to Iman Shumpert, Kevin Love and James already this year.
The Tristan Thompson saga in Cleveland looks like it will take a few time before it gets settled. He scored six points in 12 minutes.
When asked about the Instagram post, James said that he just expressed hope the contract dispute will be resolved quickly and reiterated again that Thompson is a big part of their team.
James will be wearing his familiar No. 23 for the Cavs this season, the same number he has worn every season he’s been in Cleveland, but he explained how he feels comfortable practicing while donning No. 6.
Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly where or to whom the cash is going, but hopefully this will become a regular thing for every game, and he’ll spread the wealth around.
“It has not been discussed yet, but I probably won’t play in one of the two games”, James said.
