The Cleveland Cavaliers will retire Brad Daugherty's No. 43 jersey on March 1, and the shirt will be hoisted high above the playing floor.

The 7-foot Daugherty wishes it was on the court and he was still wearing it."With as few points as these guys score, I swear I could help them somehow," he said jokingly Tuesday, knowing that his bad back - he anticipates more spinal surgery - made that impossible.

Daugherty is Cleveland's all-time leader in points (10,389) and rebounds (5,227).
