Cleveland coach Mike Brown doesn't want to rush injured center Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who has been sidelined with a cracked bone in his ankle since December.

Ilgauskas is optimistic that he'll return this week, but Brown is being cautious.

"Just watching practice, he looks a little rusty," Brown said before Tuesday's game. "I'm not thinking about him coming back. I've got to have the OK from Z. I've got to have the OK from the doctors, and then obviously, I have to make sure I give the OK.

"Once all three of us give the OK, then he'll be back on the floor."
