(SportsNetwork.com) - LeBron James said he feels better than he did two weeks ago and that the Cleveland Cavaliers need to get back to their winning ways. The Cavaliers could get closer to tasting victory again with the pending return of James and will resume a five-game road trip Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns at US Airways Center. James is averaging 25.2 points per game and hasnt played since Dec. 28 versus Detroit because of a sore knee. The Cavs are 1-7 in James absence and have lost five in a row and nine of the last 11 games. When asked if he could play against Phoenix, James said hes a game-time decision. James got work in during Mondays practice and said it felt good to get back on the court. He did admit the rest was good for him, but not for the team. James, who is expected to get more treatment and is hoping his body reacts well before tip-off, believes the Cavaliers must sustain effort for 48 minutes and they havent done so recently. It wont be an easy task against the guard-loaded Suns. They present a lot challenges. They have three point guards that put extensive pressure on the defense, James said. Even if Im in the lineup or not, we have to do a really good job of communicating and flying around helping one another. Cleveland is coming off Sundays 103-84 loss to the Sacramento Kings and opened this western jaunt with a setback against the Golden State Warriors. In the recent defeat at the Kings, Kevin Love scored 25 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for his fifth straight double-double, while Kyrie Irving scored 21 points with seven assists. Irving has scored at least 21 points in eight of the last nine games, averaging 25.0 ppg in that time. The loss dropped the Cavs to 19-19 on the season and 8-10 on the road. It wasnt a good performance ... cant sugarcoat this, Cavs coach David Blatt said. The Cavs have lost three in a row on the road and have two games remaining on this sojourn against the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers. Cavs forward Shawn Marion (hip) and newcomer J.R. Smith (elbow) are listed as questionable against Phoenix. The Suns are scheduled to remain in the desert for the next eight games versus Cleveland, Minnesota, the Lakers, Portland, Houston, the Clippers, Washington and Chicago, and are 9-7 at home. Phoenix is unbeaten in its last three home games and went 2-2 on a recent road swing, which culminated with Sundays 122-110 double-overtime loss at Memphis. The Grizzlies outscored the Suns, 14-2, in the second OT and were led by Zach Randolphs 27 points and 17 rebounds. Isaiah Thomas led the Suns with 20 points off the bench, Markieff Morris had 17 points and Alex Len posted 14 to go along with 13 rebounds. Phoenix shot 42 percent for the game and made only 8-of-35 3-pointers. Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic scored 11 and nine points, respectively. The Suns rallied from a 16-point hole in the second half and Bledsoes jumper was off the mark at the horn in the first overtime. It looked like he slipped, and he couldnt get off a decent shot, Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. Brandan Wright, who was obtained from Boston on Friday, made his first appearance for the Suns and finished with seven points. Morris is posting an average of 16.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in his last seven games, and despite his low output against Memphis, Dragic is still scoring 18.9 ppg in his past 21 games. Bledsoe is averaging 18.4 points in his previous 14 contests. Phoenix is 10-4 in its last 14 games and split two games with Cleveland last season. The two teams will meet against March 7 at Quicken Loans Arena. The Suns are 6-2 in the past eight games in this series. T. J. Carrie Browns Jersey .

Denzel Ward Browns Jersey .C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes used a strong third period to extend their winning streak to three games.ASHBURN, Va. -- The linebacker with 100 per cent attendance says theres a 99 per cent chance hes done. Washington Redskins captain London Fletcher, who has never missed a game in 16 NFL seasons, announced Wednesday that he plans to retire at the end of the year, the conclusion of a remarkable career for the undersized, undrafted player from a Division III school. "I felt like I accomplished everything I can accomplish in the National Football League from a players standpoint," Fletcher said. "Obviously everybody wants to go out like Ray Lewis with the Super Bowl parade ... but it wasnt in the cards for me." Fletcher left a tiny opening that he could return, but age has finally started to catch up with the player who always seemed ageless. Hes 38, and his tackles and playing time have declined this season. Hes set to be a free agent, and hes the leader of a struggling defence that is one of many reasons the Redskins (3-11) have clinched their fifth last-place finish in six years. "Im about 99 per cent certain that this will be my last season," Fletcher said. "Ive got to leave at least one per cent in case I change my mind, but its really just about having another conversation with my wife. ... I want to put on a nice suit when I go to that 100 per cent." Fletcher, listed at 5-foot-10, has answered the call for all 254 regular season games since joining the St. Louis Rams out of John Carroll in 1998, the longest consecutive games streak for a defensive player since the 1970 merger and fourth all-time behind Jeff Feagles (352), Brett Favre (299) and Jim Marshall (282). Hes started 213 straight games -- the longest such run by a linebacker in NFL history -- over four seasons with the Rams, five with the Buffalo Bills and seven with the Redskins. He said hes thought about retirement for four or five years, but he had previously said would wait until the calm of the off-season to decide for good rather than announcing it in-season while emotions are strong. He said Wednesday he changed his mind because he wanted a chance to say goodbye to the fans at Sundays home finale against the Dallas Cowboys. Fletcher once called himself the "Susan Lucci of the NFL" because he was always getting snubbed at Pro Bowl time, but the drought ended when was selected for the all-star game for four consecutive seasons starting in 2009. He was second-team All-Pro in 2011 and 2012, has played in two Super Bowlls and is the only player since sacks became an official stat in 1982 to have 30 sacks, 20 interceptions and 20 forced fumbles.dddddddddddd Asked if hes Hall of Fame worthy, he laughed and said there will "definitely" be room for debate when hes compared to others who have been enshrined. "I think hes definitely a Hall of Fame calibre player," coach Mike Shanahan said. "His work speaks for itself." Fletcher said he can still "go out and make plays" despite his age and is leaving in part to spend more time a family that includes three young children. He said he hopes to leave a legacy of helping develop teammate Perry Riley, but Fletchers overwhelming accomplishment is that he always found a way to play, no matter how badly he was limping from some injury after the previous game. "I dont know how he does it," linebacker Brian Orakpo said. "Any time Im feeling bad or I dont want to practice or Im sore, and I look at this guy and hes still going -- you cant complain. Its impossible to go out there and complain because this guys out there doing it and he has 10-plus years on me." Fletcher said the streak was his way of not letting his teammates down. "I always wanted to be able to be there for them and know that, Hey, they can count on me," Fletcher said. "And even prove doubters wrong when theres a little nick or bump and they think, Hey, this is going to be the end of the streak or whatever the case may be -- to be able to say: You know what? Im tough enough to get through this." Notes: Fletcher also gave a passionate endorsement for Shanahan to return. "I think you should extend him, as crazy as that may sound," Fletcher said. ... Fletchers advice to embattled quarterback Robert Griffin III, who has been benched for the rest of the season: "This is a time for him to exhale, take a step back." Griffins rambling response: "I agree with him. And I did take that advice because for some people it can push you over the edge and really frustrate you, so for me I just gotta do what Fletch told me and exhale, just let it all go because you have to let the people that know you defend you. And you cant try to defend yourself or your family in these situations. Its unfortunate and people wont understand that. But people that know me, know my parents, know my family, know what goes on around here, they have to defend me."
