Jarrett Allen Injury Update: Officially Suiting Up
Latest News on Jarrett Allen's Injury Status
Cleveland Cavaliers Center Set to Return to Action
After missing the last 10 games due to a left quad strain, Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is officially set to return to the lineup tonight against the New York Knicks.
Allen, who is averaging 16.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game this season, has been a key part of the Cavs' success this season. His return is a major boost to a team that is currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
Allen's Return Bolsters Cavs' Frontcourt
Allen's return will give the Cavs a much-needed boost in the frontcourt. Evan Mobley, who has been starting in Allen's absence, has played well, but he is still a rookie and can be inconsistent at times.
With Allen back in the lineup, the Cavs will have a formidable frontcourt duo that can match up with any team in the league. Allen is a strong rebounder and defender, while Mobley is a versatile scorer and defender.
Cavs Hopeful for Playoff Push
The Cavs are currently 34-22 on the season and are in a good position to make a playoff push. Allen's return will only help their chances of making a deep run in the postseason.
The Cavs are scheduled to face the New York Knicks tonight at 7:00 PM EST. Allen is expected to start and play limited minutes in his return.
