LeBron James went through shootaround after dealing with flu-like symptoms Tuesday, and will play Wednesday against the Utah Jazz.

Point guard Kyrie Irving missed shootaround due to illness. However, Irving is still listed as probable for Wednesday's game.

It sounds like the flu bug is going through Cleveland, and the Cavaliers will hope it moves on quickly as they look to build on a three-game winning streak. The Cavs just might be starting to click, and they expect to have Iman Shumpert in uniform by the end of the week.

In four games since returning from the longest injury layoff of his career, James is averaging 31.8 points on near-53 percent shooting, seven rebounds and 5.3 assists.
