CLEVELAND (AP)—Cavaliers guard Baron Davis(notes) will not play against Milwaukee
following the death of his grandmother.

Lela “Madea” Nicholson passed away Monday in Los Angeles, the team said.
She was 89. Davis did not travel with the team and has returned to California to
be with his family. The Cavaliers, who play the Bucks on Wednesday night, said
there is no specific date for Davis’ return.

raised him in a house on 85th St. in south central Los Angeles. Davis was
recently acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers.
