LeBron James, after suffered a scratched cornea in his right eye against the Hornets, started Saturday’s game against the Wizards protective goggles. They lasted less than a quarter. With 3:37 left in the first, he tossed them off to the side. For what it’s worth, he was -9 with them on.

Maybe, though, this shouldn’t have been a surprise:
As @JasonLloydNBA as my witness, LeBron said last night: 'I ain't playin if I have to wear goggles'
