CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers have enlisted a law firm to investigate the circumstances leading to star LeBron James signing this summer with the Miami Heat, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.

Yahoo! says Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Midwestern law firm to investigate suspicions that the Heat broke NBA tampering rules while pursuing James, who left Cleveland to join Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in Miami.

The report comes on the eve of James’ return to play in Cleveland for the first time on Thursday night.

Team spokesman Tad Carper said Wednesday night the Cavaliers are declining comment on the report. According to Yahoo!, Gilbert plans to present NBA commissioner David Stern with a detailed case with the hopes of launching a tampering investigation.
