Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue says LeBron James will play Saturday against the Washington Wizards.
James had been uncertain after suffering a corneal abrasion of his right eye in the second half of the Cavaliers' 112-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
James was fouled by the Hornets' Jeremy Lamb with 31.2 seconds left in the third quarter while scoring an and-1 layup when the contact with his eye occurred. After covering his face and sitting on the floor beside the stanchion for several minutes, James signaled for a timeout and made his way to the bench to have his eye looked at by Cavs trainer Steve Spiro.
