LeBron James fully practices for first time since tweaking left ankle, could play Friday vs. Pacers

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- LeBron James went through a full practice Thursday for the first time since tweaking his left ankle last week and could play in the Cleveland Cavaliers' preseason game against the Indiana Pacers on Friday, said Cavs coach Tyronn Lue.

"We'll see how he feels after going through practice today," Lue said.

It would be the Cavs first test of their new-look starting lineup of Kevin Love, Jae Crowder, J.R. Smith and Derrick Rose flanking James.

The four-time MVP has been sidelined since stepping on the foot of Cavs rookie Cedi Osman in the second day of training camp.
