TORONTO - A group of Cleveland Cavaliers players have been excused from staying at the team's planned accommodations, the Trump SoHo hotel, in lower Manhattan this week when the defending champions visit New York City to play the New York Knicks, multiple team sources told ESPN.com.
Other members of the team's traveling party will stay at the 46-story luxury building opened in 2010 and branded through a licensing agreement with President-elect Donald Trump, as the Cavs have a contract with the establishment.
LeBron James is included in the faction of players who will not be staying at the Trump SoHo, according to multiple sources.
