If you're watching the Cavs host Philadelphia on Friday, keep an eye on Jarrett Allen. The center is listed as questionable with a right knee contusion. He hurt it Wednesday when he collided knees with Thunder guard Jared McCain while setting a screen, left with 1:11 left in the first quarter and played seven minutes. Allen told cleveland.com he was “alright.”
Why the worry? Since Cleveland traded for Allen in January 2021, the Cavs are 244-154 with him on the floor and 129-192 without him, according to StatMuse. Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Thunder was Oklahoma City's second win over Cleveland in three days.
