Lebron James sits out from practice with bruise

Miami Heat forward Lebron James sat out from practice today due to a deep bruise in his right shin.

Miami Heat all-star forward Lebron James missed practice Thursday due to a deep bruise in his right shin, according to ESPN.

James suffered the injury on Wednesday night, but fought through it while putting up 20 points and 12 assists against the New Jersey. Although Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra plans to start James on Friday night, the injury did seem to have an affect on James' performance against New Jersey as the all-star recorded his first game without a single rebound since his rookie season.

The Heat are currently riding a four game winning streak, and will play the undefeated New Orleans Hornets on Friday night.
