James' elbow passes practice test

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cavaliers star LeBron James says a few day's rest and treatment has helped his injured right elbow.

James, who has been bothered by a sprain and bone bruise, made it through practice Thursday without feeling any pain. He participated in all contact drills.

James said doctors have told him the injury will likely bother him throughout the postseason and it will only fully heal with rest in the off-season. James said he has only had one MRI on his elbow and that a second planned one is not needed -- right now.

The two-time NBA MVP said he needs to be more aggressive in Game 3 of Cleveland's series with Boston on Friday.

The Cavs and Celtics are tied 1-1 in the best-of-seven series.
