Cleveland Cavaliers not concerned with Jeff Green skating while he's out with a bad back

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio - The Cleveland Cavaliers are encouraged by forward Jeff Green's progress with his sore lower back, but he will be held out of their game against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night to complete his planned rest period.

Green was ruled out of Saturday's loss to the Denver Nuggets and the Pistons game on Saturday afternoon after undergoing an MRI on his sore lower back which showed no structural damage.

He was seen roller skating in an Instagram video shared by LeBron James on Sunday.
