Cavaliers coach Lue to take break after health alert

Los Angeles, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Mar, 2018 ) :Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue is taking a break from coaching after health concerns forced him from courtside for the third time this season, the team said on Monday.

Lue left Saturday's 114-109 victory over the Chicago Bulls at halftime after complaining of feeling unwell. His departure came just over a month after he left the court during a game against Orlando on February 6.

He also sat out a game against the Bulls in December. With assistant Larry Drew standing in on the sidelines, the Cavaliers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 124-117 on Monday night.

Drew said before the game that he knew Lue was reluctant to step away, calling him a "warrior".

"He doesn't want to miss games, he doesn't want to miss practices," Drew said. "But there comes a point where you have to take a step back and you really have to assess things." Lue said in a statement on Monday he was taking a break from coaching duties after revealing he had been suffering from mystery chest pains.
