The Cleveland Cavaliers play the New Jersey Nets in an NBA exhibition game at 8p.m. today in Cintas Center on Xavier University's campus.

        Kenyon Martin, the former University of Cincinnati star, and Xavier graduate Aaron Williams both play for the Nets. Tyrone Hill is on the Cavaliers but has a back injury and is not expected to travel with Cleveland to the game, his agent told Xavier officials.

        Just more than 2,000 tickets have been sold. They are available today through TicketMaster outlets or at the Cintas Center ticket office, which opens at 2 p.m. Prices: $37.50, $27.50 and $17.50.

        The Cavaliers and Nets played a year ago at UC's Shoemaker Center and drew 10,134. That was Martin's first appearance in Cincinnati since he was the No.1 overall pick in the 2000 NBA draft.
