James released from hospital; treated for virus http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-cavaliers-james&prov=ap&type=lgns CLEVELAND (AP) -- Cavaliers All-Star forward LeBron James was released from the hospital Friday following a two-night stay because of a virus that caused severe pain in his chest. James was hospitalized Wednesday for what the team initially called a strained pectoral muscle. But Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said Friday that James came down with pleurisy, an inflammation of the thin layers of tissue covering his lungs and chest cavity. The 20-year-old is being treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication, and the team said it expects James to make a ``quick, full recovery.'' James sat out the Cavs' preseason home opener Friday night against Philadelphia, and it remains unclear when the third-year pro will return. ``Yeah, I'm getting better,'' James, dressed in street clothes, said before joining his teammates on the bench for the club's third exhibition game. The Cavaliers expressed relief that James' injury wasn't more serious. ``We're all happy that is was nothing more than that,'' Ferry said following Friday morning's shootaround. ``He's feeling better already. It's a minor thing.'' After the pain in his chest worsened following practice on Wednesday, James was admitted to the Cleveland Clinic for what the team initially diagnosed as a strained chest muscle. James underwent a series of tests Thursday that all came back normal, but he was kept overnight because he had a fever. James played in Cleveland's exhibition opener on Monday in Washington, but woke up in pain on Tuesday and was kept out of the Cavaliers' game against Boston in Pittsburgh that night. On Wednesday, James complained of pain in his chest and around his rib cage, and the Cavaliers urged him to go to the hospital to get checked out. ``We wanted to make sure, check every box and make sure he was healthy,'' Ferry said. ``It was getting worse instead of better.'' The Cavaliers have a road game in Milwaukee on Saturday, but it's doubtful James will make the trip. ``He could possibly play tomorrow, if he wants, but we'll probably end up holding him out,'' Cavs coach Mike Brown said. ``It's the preseason, the first few games really aren't important. I don't care if we win or lose preseason games. My main focus is to get guys rest.'' Cavaliers guard Damon Jones, who visited James while he was in hospital, said Cleveland players were comforted by the news that James' medical condition wasn't major. ``Definitely, we're relieved,'' Jones said. ``When we first started hearing about his discomfort we were all kind of worried. But the doctors did a great job of finding the problem and getting on top of it.'' James has had a few minor injuries during his first two NBA seasons. He has missed a total of five games because of ankle sprains, but he didn't miss any time after breaking a cheek bone last year when he was clobbered with an elbow by Dikembe Mutombo, and wore a protective mask for six weeks. 在住院两天之後LeBron终於出院啦!! 星期三的时候队上公布的住院原因是胸部的肌肉拉伤,但星期五Danny Ferry说LeBron是得 了胸膜炎,就是保护胸腔和肺腔的组织层发炎了!!
