LeBron says back feels better than a year ago

TORONTO -- After missing most of Cleveland Cavaliers training camp as a result of an anti-inflammatory injection he received in his lower back, LeBron James now says he feels better than he did even a year ago.

"I feel better in the mornings, I feel better throughout the games, I feel better throughout the day," James said prior to Cavs shootaround Wednesday in preparation for their game against the Toronto Raptors. "It was a rough start to the season for me last year and for our team. Obviously the way we've been playing, a lot is predicated on my health and being able to lead these guys out on the floor and not from the sidelines.
