CLEVELAND ? The Cleveland Cavaliers are waiting to get back swine flu test results on superstar LeBron James who returned to practice Thursday after taking two days off because of a virus.

James is one of a half dozen Cavalier players who are suffering from flu-like symptoms. Darnell Jackson and Coby Karl have also been tested for H1N1, or swine flu, which is a strain of Influenza A.

James, Jackson, and Karl have all tested positive for Influenza A. Andre Barrett and J.J. Hickson are also feeling ill and will not make the team's next road trip to Texas.

The Cavaliers next National Basketball Association game is Friday in San Antonio and James plans on traveling with the team. They also play in Dallas on Saturday.

James missed Wednesday's pre-season 109-104 loss to the Washington Wizards after being told to stay home and rest up.
