Ty Lue either has been dealing with the flu for a month or the Cavs are making him physically sick.
Whatever the case he couldn’t coach the 2nd half of the loss against Magic.
Tyronn Lue left Tuesday’s game against the Magic early with an illness, and he will not return, according to the team.
Lue retreated to the locker room during a timeout with 8:02 remaining in the second quarter, accompanied by team trainer Steve Spiro and security personnel.
Lue will remain in the locker room during the second half, the Cavaliers said. Associate head coach Larry Drew will coach the Cavs for the remainder of the game.
Lue also missed a game Dec. 21 against the Chicago Bulls with an undisclosed illness, needing to stay in the locker room after already arriving at the arena and going through his pregame media duties because he was not feeling well.
Hopefully he feels better.
