LeBron James is dealing with a bad back but he wants to try to play in all 82 games this season for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"I didn't feel that great," James said, referring to how he felt on Cleveland's off day Thursday.

"I was able to come in and get some treatment, get some work in, so I feel pretty good this morning," he said.

James was asked on Friday how many games he planned to play this season.

"82," said James.

James hasn't played in all 82 games during his entire career.

Chandler Parsons hopes to make his season debut on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Parsons underwent knee surgery in the offseason.

Parsons averaged 15.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 33.1 minutes per game last season with the Dallas Mavericks.

Jodie Meeks suffered a Jones fracture in his right foot in the Detroit Pistons' second game of the season.

Meeks missed the first six weeks of last season with a back injury that came after the first preseason game.

"You feel bad for the guy," Stan Van Gundy said. "Last year, it's the first exhibition game -- he plays one exhibition game and he goes out.

"And now he comes back in great shape, came off a really good last preseason game, and gets a fracture tonight. He's sort of snakebit right now, and I feel for him."

Martell Webster may need to undergo season-ending surgery on his hip.

Webster had his first full practice on Tuesday and made it through pain-free but took one final shot and discomfort returned.

It has been determined that a bone spur is causing the constant aggravation in his right hip.

"When it gets to the point that nothing's happening, the hip's not getting better ... I don't know just go back to the drawing board and see if surgery is the best solution after exhausting all avenues," Webster said Wednesday from the floor of Amway Center.

Webster is in the final fully guaranteed season of his contract.

Derrick Rose is dealing with blurred vision as he continues his recovery from a fractured left orbital bone.

Rose hasn't been able to simply blink the eye back into focus.

"I wish it was a blink, but it's all the time," said Rose, who played 32 minutes and scored 18 points. "Like right now, I see two of you."

Rose had surgery Sept. 30 and has been wearing a protective mask the past few weeks.

Rose said he was keeping only his right eye open when on the court. But photos of game action show both eyes clearly open, with Rose's left eye lid slightly swollen.

"When I'm out there playing, I'm only using one of my eyes," Rose said. "I close my left eye whenever I'm out there. So I just got used to it from practice."

Kobe Bryant missed his third straight preseason game with a lower leg contusion on Thursday.

But Bryant is still expected to play in the Los Angeles Lakers' regular season opener on Oct. 28th.

"There's no doubt in my mind [that he'll play in that game]," Byron Scott said before his team faced the Warriors on Thursday. "Talking to him [Thursday], he said he's just gearing up for Wednesday. I said, 'Good, because that's what I'm gearing up for as well.' There's no doubt in my mind. It will take a whole lot to keep him out of that game."

Bryant has had a season-ending injury in each of the past three years.

Tyreke Evans will miss six to eight weeks after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.

“It’s tough,” Antony Davis told ESPN.com Wednesday. “Now with Tyreke going down, we won’t have our complete team until January sometime. … It’s tough because you’re coming in with high expectations, thinking everybody is healthy. And then, stuff happens.”

Evans averaged 16.6 points and a career-best 6.6 assists last season.

Maurice Ndour has suffered a stress reaction in left leg and is out indefinitely. 

Ndour has had a strong camp with the Dallas Mavericks after an impressive Summer League stint with the New York Knicks.

LeBron James received an injection in his back this week and is unlikely to play again in the preseason.

James received a similar anti-inflammatory shot in January when he was shut down for two weeks and responded so well that the plan was always for him to have another one at some point.

By receiving the injection now, James is unlikely to miss any significant time.

James has dealt with back problems the last couple of years, although no one seems to think it’s a significant issue at present. 

LaMarcus Aldridge missed Wednesday's preseason game with back spasms.

Aldridge said he awoke in the team hotel with a stiff back.

“Probably just slept funny,” said Aldridge, who was walking gingerly in the locker room before the game.

Aldridge hopes to return by Sunday, when he is scheduled to make his home preseason debut against Detroit.
