Leg Cramps Won’t Slow Down James

Basketball News & NBA Rumors

The world’s most famous cramps have subsided and LeBron James expects to play in Game 5 as the Miami Heat try to close out the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the NBA title.

James, who couldn’t finish the Heat’s 104-98 win in Game 4 Tuesday night because of leg cramps, was able to take part in the team’s practice Wednesday afternoon. He said he expects to be fine by Thursday when the Heat try to close out the series.

“I feel a lot better than I did last night, that’s clear,” said James, who had 26 points, nine rebounds and 12 assists in Game 4. “I’m still a little sore because of the muscles being at an intense level — very tight. … I should be fine.”

James, who has had issues with cramps the last two years in the playoffs, said he received treatment after the game Tuesday and again Wednesday morning.
