INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue says "piercing" chest pains persuaded him to take a medical leave.

He is returning to the sideline Thursday night after missing nine games. The 40-year-old coach says he's feeling much better. He has changed his diet and says the time off has given him new perspective.

Lue hasn't coached since March 17, when he left a game at halftime in Chicago because of chest pains.
