Cleveland, OH (My Sportsbook) - Cleveland Cavaliers rookie forward J.J. Hickson will be out the next two-to-three weeks due to a stress reaction in his lower back. Hickson has been experiencing some recent back pain and he had an MRI exam Wednesday morning, which revealed the stress reaction. He's averaging 4.0 points and 2.7 rebounds over 62 games. The Cavaliers got center Ben Wallace (broken leg) and forward Anderson Varejao (bruised wrist) back for Wednesday's 98-86 win over Washington. Wallace scored seven points in his first game since February 26, when he fractured his right fibula. Varejao sat out the team's previous contest due to a bruised right wrist, and came back to post 10 points and seven rebounds. |
