LeBron James gave Cleveland Cavaliers fans a scare on Sunday when he limped off the court with a leg injury in the second quarter, but their counterparts from Boston were not quite as concerned about it.

Early in the second quarter, LeBron came up lame and favored his right leg as he walked off the court. Some Celtics fans seemed pleased, while others booed James.

Cheering an injury is never the classy thing to do, though it must be a lot more embarrassing when its your own fans who are happy to see it. Fortunately for the Cavs, LeBron took a short rest and later returned to the game. He looked just as explosive when he checked back in, so it’s safe to say the injury is not an issue.
