Tue Oct 24 202323:59Jarrett Allen Won't Play Against Brooklyn
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) won't suit up on Wednesday against Brooklyn, his former team. Allen suffered a bone bruise in his left ankle a few weeks ago. While he hasn't sustained any setbacks, head coach J.B. Bickerstaff is understandably taking the cautious route before putting him back on the floor. The 25-year-old is coming off a down season, finishing with averages of 14.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. Allen also appeared in only 68 games, so missing time isn't a foreign concept for the 2017 No. 22 overall pick. Nonetheless, Evan Mobley will likely slide over and handle things in the middle while Allen is out, which could be more than just one game, depending on his pain level. Damian Jones should also see more minutes than usual from off the bench. But with Darius Garland (hamstring) uncertain for Wednesday's contest, it's hard to tell who will enter the starting lineup, although it will likely be Caris LeVert or Isaac Okoro.
