It’s very nice of #Cavs to try to boost Jarrett Allen’s Defensive Player of the Year resume with this wretched first-quarter showing. – 5:29 PM

Two early fouls for #Cavs Evan Mobley without Jarrett Allen tonight is not really ideal. – 5:24 PM

#Cavs Robin Lopez checks in at the 5:29 mark of the first quarter as Evan Mobley picks up his second foul. Not ideal on a night Jarrett Allen is out. – 5:23 PM

#Cavs Jarrett Allen’s injured right eye is bloodshot & puffy, with a noticeable bruise below the bottom of his eyelid. He joked with me about being in a fight w/ Floyd Mayweather Jr. But there’s no structural damage & everyone feels “extremely fortunate”

A source to @clevelanddotcom on #Cavs Jarrett Allen’s eye injury: “Looked better than I thought it would.”
Even with Allen doubtful for tomorrow’s game in Charlotte, Cleveland might have dodged one.

More on this storyline
The Cavs are calling Jarrett Allen’s injury an “eye contusion.” A source who spoke with cleveland.com on Saturday said Allen’s eye “looked better than expected” and will “hopefully be back sooner rather than later.” Given how bad the injury initially seemed, with Allen immediately covering his face, staying down on the court in pain and immediately exiting with the training staff, an eye contusion may be the best-case scenario. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / March 11, 2023
Cleveland: Jarrett Allen (right eye contusion) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday’s game against Charlotte. Darius Garland (right quadricep contusion) is questionable. -via HoopsHype / March 11, 2023
Cleveland has lost two of the first three against New York this season. The finale — a matchup that could determine the all-important tiebreaker — is at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on March 31. “I think that’s something that’s sought after a lot in this league,” Allen said when asked about the importance of home-court advantage. “I’ve never had it, so I don’t know how important it is, but from what I hear, everybody is clamoring over it. I think it’s important.” -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / March 6, 2023
