James Plans to be Ready for Next Game

LeBron James plans to play Friday night when Miami visits Detroit, even though the Heat star is continuing to deal with the effects of a scary collision with Phoenix’s Grant Hill.

James told The Associated Press he was still recovering on Wednesday, one day after crashing into Hill in the final seconds of Miami’s win over the Suns. James was on defense and sprinting when he apparently did not see Hill trying to set a screen. Both players tumbled to the court, and James was down for nearly 2 minutes before being helped to his feet.

“I feel good,” James said. “I’ve been better. I’ll be better by Friday. But I’ve been better.”
