Jarrett Allen: 'I feel about 90 percent out there'
Is your minutes restriction lifted? Jarrett Allen: It’s feeling great. Actually, I haven’t felt it anymore. All the time off really healed it. I was just trying to get back into my body again. I don’t really know to be honest with you, I’m pretty sure the minute restriction is at my regular playing time now. So I’m good to go playing normal now. It’s just getting my wind back at this point. How’s your conditioning going for you now? Do you feel like you’re at peak game shape form? Jarrett Allen: I feel about 90 percent out there. There’s still some stuff that I got to get used to in terms of just timing [or] whether it’s pick and rolls or just guarding somebody. But other than that, I feel like I’m close.

For @MileHighSports
Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen dominated the game, and the defending champions had no answer for the perfect pick and roll to attack Nikola Jokic defensively.
Then, the big man let his frustration boil over.

7:32 remaining in the 3rd quarter – Nikola Jokic picks up his 5th foul. It is upgraded to a flagrant foul as he gets Jarrett Allen in the face. JA now gets two free throws…
Cavs lead it, 80-61. – 7:31 PM

It would seem #Cavs Jarrett Allen is under the skin of Nikola Jokic, who has back-to-back offensive fouls, just received a flagrant foul 1 and is up to 5 fouls now in the game. – 7:31 PM

More on this storyline
What sorts of improvements have you seen with Donovan Mitchell or Darius Garland? Jarrett Allen: Darius, I’ll say he’s been better scoring, finding his position. Last year was the first time playing with Donovan, so that kind of threw a wrench in the system for him. But now I feel like he’s finally finding his spot, finding where he needs to pass the ball. And for Donovan, he’s always been great. Feel like he bought into the system Day 1 and he’s been ready to play. This year not only he’s gonna score every time, but he’s making up more opportunities for everybody else. -via HoopsHype / November 20, 2023
With Tristan back with your squad, what of his toughness has helped you and Mobley’s game? Can you maybe talk about a particular example? Jarrett Allen: He always preaches toughness. When I was playing in training camp or before the year started, he would always crash the boards, just trying to get us ready to battle during the game. So he’s just telling us just to be strong down there, always be ready to hit somebody and compete. He gives me pointers on the rebounds, where to hit certain people when they’re going up for a rebound to try to knock them off balance so you can get the rebound. Just little tidbits like that which go a long way. -via HoopsHype / November 20, 2023
Can you talk a bit about your Meals and Math Thanksgiving event you’re holding? I believe this is the seventh one you’re doing. Jarrett Allen: Yeah, it was the seventh one. So far we’ve been able to do it every year. We’ve had some complications with COVID, but it’s good we give the kids math packets to do in their own time. Just to try to help them with the math and then we give them $100 gift cards to go shopping with. Usually, wherever we do the shopping at they have to stay under $100 so they have to walk around with a calculator, making sure that they stay on their budget. We usually find kids that aren’t in the best situation. We look at certain academies. This year we worked with Open Doors Academy to get 25 kids through. -via HoopsHype / November 20, 2023
