"Cavaliers guard Baron Davis received treatment on his sore back and sat out the second day of practice with the team on Saturday. His back, which also gave him trouble last season, tightened up in the first drill of training camp on Friday.

Davis has been rumored to be on his way out of Cleveland either via the amnesty clause or a buyout, although club officials have said they have not made a decision. He also could serve as a mentor to rookie point guard Kyrie Irving.

Center Semih Erden also didn't practice because of his broken right thumb. In addition, rookie free-agent forward J.P. Prince of Tennessee bumped knees with another player and sat out the last 15 or 20 minutes.

By and large, injuries have not been a problem. Antawn Jamison (little finger), Ramon Sessions (hernia) and Samardo Samuels (wrist) have recovered from their surgeries and Anderson Varejao said he doesn't even think about the surgically repaired tendon in his right foot.

"I don't know if the 11 months made me forget about it, but this is the first time I've come back from an injury that I don't think about it at all," Varejao said. "Maybe it's because I had a lot of time off. But when I came back from my shoulder, I was always protecting myself. High ankle sprain? I was always protecting myself. But this time nothing. I'm just playing basketball without thinking about my injury." "
