Jarrett Allen is questionable for the Cavs' Friday game against the 76ers
The 5AM Westlake team
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.”
