Just got word via Dave McMenamin of ESPN Los Angeles, who is in Cleveland for tonight's big game.
Mo Williams, starting PG for the LeBrons, won't suit up in the X-Mas day rematch thanks to a right shoulder sprain suffered in Cleveland's win over Toronto Tuesday night.
It's a major loss for the Cavs, since Williams takes pressure off James in any number of ways, from scoring (almost 17 points a game) to distributing (5.1 apg). He's a 43% three point shooter, as well. Without Williams available to help handle the ball, expect to see extended PT for Delonte West and Boobie Gibson, as well as James with the rock in his hands more than his normal "lots."
