EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- LeBron James said his pregnant
girlfriend was fine Friday, two days after she was taken to the
hospital during Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals in
Cleveland.

Savannah Brinson, expecting the couple's second child next
month, left Wednesday night's game at halftime. James said he was
told of her situation and was "a little concerned, of course,"
and was updated throughout the game.
"You always want your family to be protected, you want them to
be fine," James said before Game 6 of the series. "They ensured
me that she was OK so I believed what I heard."
Neither James nor the Cavs have said what was wrong. Coach Mike
Brown said he visited the hospital after the game, but left all
questions for James.
James also said his knee was a "hundred percent" after he was
forced to leave Game 5 in the final minute after banging and
cutting his knee while chasing a loose ball.
