Jarrett Allen Uncertain For Wednesday

What Happened?

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen suffered a left hip contusion Monday night against the Orlando Magic. He is listed as day-to-day and is uncertain to play Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Updates On The Situation

Allen is averaging 13.1 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game this season. He is a key part of the Cavaliers' defense and his absence would be a big blow. The Cavaliers are already without Darius Garland, who is out for the season with a torn ACL. If Allen is unable to play, Kevin Love would likely start at center. Love is a veteran player who can provide the Cavaliers with some scoring and rebounding, but he is not as good of a defender as Allen.

Fantasy Impact

Allen's injury is a big blow to fantasy owners. He is a top-100 player in most leagues and his absence will hurt teams. If you own Allen, you should consider adding Love or another center to your roster. If you are considering signing Love, do so promptly before all your other league members realize that they should sign him too.

Conclusion

Allen's injury is a big blow to the Cavaliers and fantasy owners. He is a key player for the Cavaliers and his absence will be felt. The Cavaliers will have to hope that Love can step up and fill the void.
