LeBron James played Saturday night against the Washington Wizards, despite a corneal abrasion to his right eye suffered a night earlier.
The Cavaliers star opened the game wearing goggles but then ditched them with about three minutes left in the opening quarter and Cleveland trailing.
He finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in a team-high 41 minutes of a 127-115 loss.
James' status had been uncertain for the game, following the injury he suffered in a 112-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
James was fouled by the Hornets' Jeremy Lamb with 31.2 seconds left in the third quarter while scoring an and-1 layup when the contact with his eye occurred. After covering his face and sitting on the floor beside the stanchion for several minutes, James signaled for a timeout and made his way to the bench to have his eye looked at by Cavs trainer Steve Spiro.
After Friday's game, James told reporters his vision was blurry in his right eye and he was attended to by the Hornets' team eye specialist.
Also for the Cavs on Saturday, Iman Shumpert did not play due to right knee soreness that he felt following walk-through and warm-ups.
