Luol Deng: (Knee) Playing Thursday
Deng (knee) will suit up Thursday in Cleveland, The News-Herald reports.
Analysis:
After developing a sore knee Sunday, Deng took a seat Tuesday and entered Thursday with questionable status. However, his participation in both morning shootaround and pregame warmups have cleared him to play. In three previous matchups with the Cavs this season, he averaged 17.7 points (on 55 percent shooting), 7.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 three-pointers, 0.7 steals, and 0.7 blocks in 39 minutes.
