FYI:
LeBron James will not play Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks because of soreness in his left knee, according to Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt.
James already missed one game this season because of the injury -- a marquee matchup against Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder -- and now will miss the chance to play on his 30th birthday.
Blatt said James' status is day-to-day moving forward. The Cavs host the Bucks on Wednesday.
Forward Shawn Marion, who turned his left ankle in the Cavs' loss to the Detroit Pistons, is also out against the Hawks, according to Blatt.
There is some good news for Cleveland, though, as point guard Kyrie Irving confirmed that he'll return to action Tuesday night after missing two games with a bone bruise in his left knee.
