COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Cavs got the band back together for all of about 16 minutes this preseason. That's approximately how long all five starters from Cleveland's 2016 NBA championship team were in uniform together for a game, thanks to J.R. Smith's signing of a four-year, $57 million deal Saturday.

Eddie Lacy made headlines Sunday with his pair of hurdles in a disappointing loss to Dallas. He's back in the news Tuesday, but not for good reason. After coach Mike McCarthy said that the Packers running back would not practice Tuesday due to ankle soreness, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Lacy could miss several weeks, not just Thursday night's game against the Bears.

It was as if everything he thought he had kno..>> view originalCharles Barkley: Golden State Warriors still a flawed team even with Kevin Durant
