LeBron misses game with back spasms

His supporting cast rose to the occasion, and the Cavs routed the Kings, 124-100.

This is the first game James has missed since January, when he sat out two games with a sprained right big toe. He will travel with the team to Memphis on Wednesday, where he will be re-evaluated prior to Cleveland’s game against the Grizzlies Wednesday night.

The Cavs are in the midst of a five-game winning streak, and are two games back of the Detroit Pistons in the Central Division.

James is averaging 27.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game this season.
