WASHINGTON, May 19 (Xinhua) -- Cavaliers guard Larry Hughes rejoined the team Friday night for Game 6 against Detroit after missing the previous three games because of his brother's death.
Hughes dressed for the game and didn't play as a starter. Flip Murray started in the past three games in place of him. Murray has averaged 9.3 points in the three starts.
"It wouldn't be fair to put him in after missing a week of basketball," Brown said before the game. "We've made some changes in what we're doing offensively and defensively. I don't have any concerns about him dressing or not."
Hughes played in Games 1 and 2, but left the Cavaliers on May 11 to be with his family following the death of his 20-year-old brother, Justin. Enditem
