Dion Waiters' first game back
By Nick Borges | ESPN.com
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been without Dion Waiters for the last seven games after he hyperextended his left knee on Feb. 18. Waitors is set to play Tuesday when the Cavs go against the San Antonio Spurs.
"The knee feels good, just a little bit of aching,” Waiters told The News-Herald on Monday. “I’m looking forward to playing tomorrow, looking forward to getting out there with my team. They’ve been playing great basketball ball the last couple games."
Mike Brown decided a while back to switch Waiters from the starting shooting guard position to the sixth-man and that's the role he'll have once again. Waiters still believes the Cavs will make the playoffs. They are currently 3.5 games out of the No. 8 seed.
“When we get everybody back and everybody healthy I think we can make a great playoff run,” Waiters said. “When we’re healthy, we’re one of the best teams out there."
