Cavaliers' Allen Doubtful for Game 6 Due to Rib Injury
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is recovering from a rib injury and is in excruciating pain.
Allen missed the final three games of the first-round series against Orlando due to the injury, and his availability for Game 6 is uncertain.
The Cavaliers are currently facing the Orlando Magic in the first round of the playoffs, and Allen's absence would be a significant blow to their chances of advancing. Allen is one of Cleveland's best players, and he is averaging 16.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game in the playoffs.
The Cavaliers have not released a specific timetable for Allen's return, but he is expected to be out for at least a few games. If Allen is unable to play in Game 6, the Cavaliers will likely start Andre Drummond at center. Drummond is a capable scorer and rebounder, but he is not as good of a defender as Allen.
The Cavaliers are hoping that Allen will be able to return for Game 7, but they are preparing to play without him in Game 6. The Magic are a tough opponent, and the Cavaliers will need to be at their best to win without Allen.
