LeBron James Has a Cold Going Into Game 2

Miami Heat Star Is Sick During Playoff Games

Miami Heat star forward LeBron James is reportedly sick with a head cold and has been for three days.

"I'm taking everything you can get from 7-Eleven," said James, whose team lost to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. "I've been sick since we got here."

So during Game 2 on Wednesday night, James will be battling not only the Bulls team but also his persistent cold.

According to James, the sickness has been draining him, and he has been treating it with medication and rest.

James also said that the congestion has made it hard to sleep and affects his energy on the court, but he also did not blame his relatively poor performance during Game 1 (only 15 points on 5 of 15 shooting) on his sickness.
