CLEVELAND - Cavaliers superstar LeBron James could miss several games with a sprained right wrist sustained during a hard fall against Detroit.

James, who got hurt while trying to brace himself from the fall on Tuesday night, will sit out Wednesday's game against Portland and is currently doubtful for Friday's home game against Sacramento.

The Cavs announced James' injury moments before they tipped off against the Trail Blazers. The team said James underwent an MRI, which revealed the sprain.

During his pregame availability, first-year coach David Blatt made no mention of the injury — he only said James was sore — and said he had no plans to rest James anytime soon.

James recently returned after missing eight games with nagging knee and back injuries. The Cavs, who entered Wednesday's game on a seven-game winning streak, have gone 1-8 without James this season.

Before this season, the 30-year-old had never missed more than seven games in his NBA career. Since he returned from the sprained back and knee, the Cavs have gone 7-1 and James has averaged 30.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists.

James got hurt late in the third quarter on Tuesday night when he fell after trying to block a shot by Pistons guard Jodie Meeks. James put out both hands to break his fall as he crashed to the floor. James briefly went to the bench, but finished the game, scoring 32 points as the Cavs won their seventh straight.

Afterward, James acknowledged he was scared when he fell because he broke his left wrist on a similar play during high school.
