Ty Lue does not come out to coach Cavs for second half due to illness

Tyronn Lue did not come to coach the Cavaliers for the second half of their game on Saturday in Chicago.

When Cleveland came out for the third quarter of their game against the Bulls, they did so without their head coach, who stayed behind in the locker room.

As @KCJHoop just told us, Tyronn Lue is not on the bench. This would be the third game and second against Chicago he's been unable to coach because of an illness

Larry Drew took over as acting head coach as he did previously this season when Lue missed the second half of Cleveland’s game against the Magic with an undisclosed illness.

The Cavaliers later said that Lue was out with an illness and doubtful to return. Lue and LeBron James had a tense exchange during the team’s game on Thursday night.
