Lue hasn't coached since March 17, when he left a game at halftime in Chicago because of chest pains. Two days later, the team said he was taking a leave.

Lue joked around with media this morning at shoot around. - "I'm healthy, I haven't touched a soda in 3 weeks".

With playoffs approaching, it's nice to see Coach Lue getting back out there with the squad. LeBron said his presence alone brings an immediate impact.
