Cavaliers F Luol Deng will not play Saturday vs Celtics

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Luol Deng will not play on Saturday night against the Boston Celtics.

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports that Deng will miss his second straight game due to back soreness. 

With the team already eliminated from playoff contention and left with just two games on their schedule, there is a good chance that Deng will not appear again in a Cavs uniform this season. 

In 40 games with Cleveland this season, Deng is averaging 14.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in just under 34 minutes of playing time per game. 

Alonzo Gee is expected to get the start in Deng's place against Boston.
