Cavaliers assistant coach Hank Egan, sidelined since late December after having triple-bypass surgery, is back with the team on a part-time basis.
One of his jobs is to evaluate coach Mike Brown's performance.
"Sometimes in situations you can be in as a head coach, you can say or do the wrong thing," Brown said. "He'll tell me if I'm out of line. That's something that you need."
Egan hasn't been cleared to travel with the team or sit on the bench. After having prostate surgery in July, he started working out to get back into shape. But he kept hitting a wall.
"I felt funny," Egan said.
