Report: Cavs' Lue absent against Nets, to be assessed for each game

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue will not be available to coach against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, and was not with the team Saturday when they traveled to New York.

Lue is suffering from chest pains and other serious symptoms, causing him to miss the Cavaliers' last three games. He is expected to be evaluated on a game-by-game basis, and there is a chance he could still travel to Miami for Tuesday's matchup with the Miami Heat.

Cleveland is currently clinging onto the third seed in the East, just 1.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers.
