Cavaliers' Allen Out for Game 2 with Injury
Jarrett Allen Expected to Miss Game 2 of Eastern Conference Finals
As the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics prepare for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday, the Cavaliers have received some unfortunate news regarding the status of center Jarrett Allen.
What is Allen's injury?
According to the latest injury report, Allen sustained a right ankle injury in Game 1 and will be unavailable for Tuesday's matchup. The severity of the injury has not been disclosed, and there is no timetable for his return.
Impact on the Cavaliers
Allen's absence will be a significant blow to the Cavaliers, as he is one of their most important players. The 6'foot-11 center is a key part of their defense, averaging 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs. He is also a valuable contributor on the offensive end, averaging 11.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game this postseason.
What's next for the Cavaliers?
Without Allen in the lineup, the Cavaliers will have to adjust their game plan for Game 2. They will likely rely more on Evan Mobley and Isaac Okoro to fill the void in the paint. It will be crucial for the team to stay connected on the defensive end and limit the Celtics' scoring opportunities.
