LeBron James will be the only Cleveland Cavaliers player going to China this summer. The Cavaliers have declined permission for center Zydrunas Ilgauskas to play for Lithuania in the Olympics.
Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry says Ilgauskas is a higher-risk player because of his injury history. The 7-foot-3 Ilgauskas was plagued by foot injuries early in his career and the Cavs are concerned about his lower back.
Ilgauskas needed permission to play because his contract is not fully insured.
Ilgauskas viewed the Beijing Olympics as his last chance to play for his country.
