Rest easy, Hughes expected back

[645]

Los Angeles- The latest injury to Cavaliers guard Larry Hughes is not cause for major concern. Neither Hughes nor the team expects him out long.

"This is just precautionary," said Cavs coach Mike Brown. "We'll make sure he gets some rest and continue to rehab."

Hughes did not play Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers due to left thigh tendinitis. This developed as Hughes favored his left leg coming back from a right-ankle sprain. Hughes missed 10 games due to the ankle sprain. This time he's listed as day-to-day.

LOS ANGELES - ``Larry Hughes'' and ``precaution'' are being used again in sentences by the Cavaliers, which calls for another word commonly used in this space: ``reality.''

In reality, this is probably just the way it is going to be for the Cavs in Hughes' tenure. He's a quality player, one who has no doubt lifted the Cavs' play when he's been on the court during the past season and a half, but his body is simply fragile. He's going to break bones and tweak joints at a high rate, the results of a 6-foot-5, 180-pound guy playing in such a physically demanding game. His resume is chock full of these injuries.

Therefore, the Cavs simply have to be prepared for him to miss games at any time.

At this point i'm finding Hughes a wasted signing. All that money and he can't be relied on. I know it's hasn't been 2 years even but at this point I don't see him being an answer to the championship question.
