WASHINGTON, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Larry Hughes is expected to play Game 7 for the Clevelan Cavaliers on Sunday at The Palace in Auburn Hills, Mich.

    The Cleveland's guard, who returned to the club Friday after missing three games in the Detroit series following the death of his younger brother, dressed for Game 6 but didn't play in Cleveland's 84-82 loss.

    However, Hughes is hoping to give his team a boost on the court.

    "Whatever the team needs, I'm here," Hughes was quoted by the Associated Press as saying. "They've been playing so well winning games while I was at home. But I just want to come in and support those guys like they supported me. If I'm needed to take a foul, inbounds the ball or play defense on the inbounds play, that's what I'm willing to do."

    Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said the plans to play Hughes were unfinished.

    "It's a game-time decision," he said. "I'm still exploring things with the coaches. There is a decent chance that I'll play him, but when and how long I don't know yet." Enditem
