Cavaliers rookie J.J. Hickson will miss the next 2-3 weeks with a stress-related back injury, it was revealed today.
The Cavs decided to shut down the rookie, who had a flare up approximately three months ago, after he began suffering symptoms 7-10 days ago. More details will be revealed later today.
Hickson averaged four points and 2.7 rebounds in play this year, but has seen his playing time cut in recent weeks with the return of Joe Smith to the Cavs and the development of fellow rookie Darnell Jackson.
