Gibson, recovering from a high ankle sprain suffered on Feb. 20, was projected to miss four to six weeks. He reached the four-week plateau on Wednesday, and he's anxious to return. The Milwaukee game on Saturday will be the 18th game in a row he's missed.

He finally got on the court on Thursday at Cleveland Clinic Courts and went through many shooting drills with Jent, the Cavs' shot doctor.

Gibson hopes to return to action for the New Orleans game on Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena. But, if he finds he's not quite ready for the Hornets, he said he'd certainly play against Detroit on March 29.

"Right now, there's a little discomfort," he said. "There are certain things I'm not able to do yet, like turning corners and sliding the right way. Once I get full range of motion in my ankle, I'll be able to get to that next level."

Gibson said he could have made shots in Friday's game against the Raptors. However, if coach Mike Brown asked him to play defense, he'd be in trouble.

"As far as being able to contain guys, playing defense and playing basketball with the passion I want to play, I wouldn't be able to go," he said.

The bulk of his conditioning has occurred in the underwater treadmill.

"It's one of the best inventions ever as far as rehab goes," Gibson said.

CAVS 90, RAPTORS 83: LeBron James became the franchise's all-time leading scorer in the first quarter of the Cavs' victory over Toronto on Friday at Quicken Loans Arena. However, he took over the game in the fourth quarter when he scored 11 of his game-high 29 points.

His fourth-quarter heroics fueled the Cavs' ninth consecutive win at The Q, their longest since the 2005-06 season.

James had three slam dunks in a span of 2 minutes, 42 seconds in the fourth. He finished with a game-high 12 rebounds and five assists.

He surpassed former Cavaliers center Brad Daugherty (10,389 points) with a drive to the basket with 4:11 left in the first quarter. At the next stoppage of play, he acknowledged the crowd by walking across the floor with his hands in the air.

The Cavs (40-30) are planning a pre-game presentation before Wednesday's home game against New Orleans to honor their all-time leading scorer. James now has 10,414 points. Many think he has at least 20,000 more to come.

"To get that franchise record now is absolutely... amazing," Cavs coach Mike Brown said.

The Cavs' defense was stifling once again, as it held its second consecutive opponent under 40 percent shooting. The potent Raptors shot just 39.5 percent from the field. The No. 1-ranked three-point shooting team shot just 26.7 percent from behind the arc (4-of-15).
