LeBron James: (Back) Expected To Play Sunday

James (back) is expected to play against the Rockets on Sunday, Sam Amico of FOX Sports reports.

Analysis:

James sat out Friday's game against the Pacers to rest his ailing back but there's nothing to be overly concerned about as coach David Blatt routinely rests his veteran players. With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) already ruled out, James will likely have even more opportunities on offense against an average Houston defense.
