The flu bug has bitten Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
James will miss the club's final home exhibition game against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night because of flu-like symptoms that have been bothering him for several days. Forward Darnell Jackson and guard Coby Karl were also out with the flu.
James and his two teammates were told to stay home so they don't spread the flu.
As a standard precaution, all of the players will be tested for the H1N1 virus, team officials said.
I know winners don't shake hands, so at least he'd be less likely to spread it than other more gracious players.
