Heat F James a game-time decision

Miami Heat star forward LeBron James is considered a game-time decision against the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday after tweaking his groin and aggravating an ankle sprain.

James is questionable to play after getting banged up Friday night at the Sacramento Kings.

"It's not feeling too well right now," James said after Friday's overtime loss. "I don't know what happened in the first half. I played (much of) the second half and overtime, and strained my groin. I'll see how I feel on our trip to Portland tonight and into tomorrow. But it ain't feeling too good right now."

James played through the injuries Friday, scoring 33 points and had eight assists in 44 minutes.

James is a "close call" to play and will need to test out the injured groin before Saturday's game, according to ESPN.com.

Guards Dwyane Wade and Ray Allen missed Friday's game with knee injuries and are questionable for Saturday night's contest.
