LeBron James is playing in Saturday's contest versus the Washington Wizards after being poked in the eye by Jeremy Lamb in Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
The four-time MVP donned protective goggles to avoid re-injuring his right eye before ditching them midway through the first quarter.
The Cavaliers hold just a one-game lead for the No. 1 spot in the East after going 6-7 to begin the month of March.
James is averaging 26.1 points, 8.8 assists, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals on 54.5 percent shooting.
