Dec 13 (Reuters) - Cleveland's "Big Three" of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are going to be rested for Wednesday's road game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the NBA champions have announced.
James, Irving and Love will not make the trip to Memphis, continuing a recent trend of NBA teams periodically resting their best players during the regular season.
Four-times NBA most valuable player James said he was happy to abide by coach Tyronn Lue's decision.
"I shouldn't have to explain me sitting out games," James said after the 103-86 victory over the Grizzlies in Cleveland on Tuesday.
