CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND,Ohio-Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue is stepping down temporarily, beginning with tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, franchise officials announced Monday, his health condition purportedly at issue, and his health ailment a mystery.
"After many conversations with our doctors and Koby [Altman] and much thought given to what is best for the team and my health, I need to step back from coaching for the time being and focus on trying to establish a stronger and healthier foundation from which to coach for the rest of the season," Lue said in a press statement.
Black elected officials of Cleveland were supportive of the coach, as were other fans in general.
"Cleveland will miss one of its best assets in Tyronn Lue," said state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10), a Cleveland Democrat and former city councilman. "We wish him the best and hope to see him again as a head coach in Cleveland."
Larry Drew, the team's chief assistant, will step up in Lue's place, for now.
Lue, 40 and Black, was hired as an associate coach in 2014 and was promoted to head coach mid season 2015-201.
In 2016y, he led the Cavaliers to their first NBA title championship in a contentious series with the Golden State Warriors.
The Cavs lost the championship title to the Warriors last year and have been struggling this season, accumulating a 40-29 win-loss season record to date, and slipping from last season's first place ranking in the Eastern Conference to third place.
Lue missed the second half of Saturday's win over the Bulls, as he did after halftime relative to the game last month against Orlando Magic. And he missed the Dec. 21 game against the Bulls in its entirety.
