Cavs recall F Kevin Jones

By By The Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) - The struggling Cavaliers have recalled forward Kevin Jones.

Jones has been playing for the Cavs' D-League affiliate in Canton. In five games with the Charge, the former West Virginia star averaged 23.6 points and 12.6 rebounds. The 6-foot-8 Jones was 1 of the final players cut by the Cavs at the end of training camp.

Cleveland has struggled without star point guard Kyrie Irving, their leading scorer, who is out with a broken left index finger and expected to miss two more weeks. On Monday night, the Cavs were also missing rookie guard Dion Waiters in an 89-79 loss to Detroit. Waiters has a sprained ankle. He and Irving combine to average 38 points.

The Cavs, who are just 4-14, host Chicago on Wednesday.
