David Nwaba 'still pretty sore,' determined to fight through nagging knee injury

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers swingman David Nwaba said his achy right knee is "feeling a little bit better," but is not 100 percent.

"It's still pretty sore. Just something I've got to fight through," he said following Friday's shootaround. "See if it gets better over time."

Nwaba returned to the lineup on Wednesday night, his first game since being shut down for more than two weeks because of continued soreness. He scored nine points in 10 minutes, as Cleveland outscored New York by 14 when he was on the court.

While sidelined, Nwaba continued to get treatment and tried taking it easy.
