Auburn Hills, Mich. ? LeBron James sprained his left index finger in the second quarter Wednesday night and did not return for the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Detroit Pistons.

The Cavs said X-rays were negative, adding he would be evaluated again today.

James returned to Cleveland’s bench late in the third quarter, sporting a suit and turtleneck, with tape wrapped around his index and middle fingers on his non-shooting hand.

He appeared to be injured with 4:41 left in the first half, when Detroit center Nazr Mohammed fouled him. James made both free throws and stayed in the game.
