Delonte West might be back tonight:
The best team in the NBA is beginning to get healthy.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, riding an 11-game winning streak, could get guard Delonte West back in the lineup Tuesday against the New Jersey Nets.
He missing the last eight games with a broken left ring finger, leaving the Cavs without their top two point guards.
Starting point guard Mo Williams, out with a shoulder injury, said Monday he expects West to play. Coach Mike Brown wasn’t as confident because he hadn’t received final clearance, but that could come at Tuesday’s morning shootaround.
Delightful. It would be nice to have him get his feet wet against a team like the Nets as opposed to a team like the Magic. They’ll probably need West on Thursday night, especially if Vince Carter still thinks it’s 2001.
