Cavaliers forward Antawn Jamison has left Cleveland's game against San Antonio in the third quarter with stiffness behind his left knee.

The Cavaliers provided a vague update on Jamison, who was recently acquired in a trade with Washington. Jamison did not appear to injure himself but walked gingerly to the locker room before being evaluated by Cleveland's medical staff.

The Cavs said Jamison will not return.

Cleveland was playing its second straight game without superstar LeBron James. The Cavs are already missing center Shaquille O'Neal, who is out for another five weeks after undergoing thumb surgery.
