LeBron James: (Illness) Will Play Friday

James (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Pacers, Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com reports.

Analysis:

James is dealing with an illness but plans on playing through whatever agitation is bothering him. The 30-year-old missed Friday's morning shootaround but that was likely in an attempt to conserve energy so he can fulfill his normal role on the court against the Pacers.
