| December 24, 2006 Larry Hughes said yesterday that his sprained ankle still is not 100 percent, so he asked coach Mike Brown to limit his minutes, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I'm going to try to take it back a little," Hughes said. "It's not getting any worse but it's not moving as fast as I want it to move, so I'll play less minutes and rest it more during off days and get it to where I can be myself." Hughes is aiming to play closer to 30 minutes a game than 40. |

Hughes does not plan to play this weekend. |

"We're not in any rush because we want to make sure we handle this the right way," said Cavs coach Mike Brown. "The right way, right now is to have him out for these next two games and start his rehab and go from there." Hughes, who has missed the last three games, underwent an MRI on his ankle Tuesday, and it came back negative. |
| November 21, 2006 Larry Hughes will miss at least two more games with his high ankle sprain, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. He is scheduled to receive a second MRI today. If the test shows favorable results, Hughes could be back next week. |

| November 16, 2006 Larry Hughes is expected to miss at least the next two games due to a high right ankle sprain, according to the AP.

| October 18, 2006 Larry Hughes still is dealing with last season's broken finger injury, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Although most of the pain and swelling is gone, he can't make a fist or palm a ball. "I don't have any problems shooting the ball," Hughes said. "I can control the ball with my palm when dribbling. You really don't need a fist when rebounding or sticking my hand on while playing defense. My mind is set that this is how my finger's going to be for the rest of my career. I think I can deal with it." Nonetheless, Hughes is one of the most injury-prone guys in the league, so not being 100 percent now is not a good sign. |
