LeBron James is back after spending two days in bed.  His teammates ran the other way when they saw him.

“You come back around and everyone is like, ‘Ugh, you got the cooties,’ ” James said. “They don’t want to be around you.”

James and two other Cavs teammates tested positive for Influenza A.  The club is basically treating them as though they have H1N1 flu.

H1N1 (A.K.A. swine flu) is a variant of Influenza A and though the team isn’t sure they have it, they’re treating all its players with medication to battle the nasty virus.

Team physician Dr. Alfred Cianflocco met with the team at Cleveland Clinic Courts to discuss preventive measures on how to stop the flu from spreading.

“We feel very comfortable and confident that what we are doing is an appropriate course of action,” Cavs spokesman Tad Carper said. “The key for us is to approach things proactively and from a presumptive standpoint.”
