Cleveland Cavaliers Injury Updates: Mitchell Progressing, Allen Out
Latest News on the Cavaliers' Injured Players
As the 2023-24 NBA season approaches, the Cleveland Cavaliers are dealing with several injury concerns. Here's the latest on the status of the team's injured players:
Donovan Mitchell
All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell has been sidelined with a lingering knee injury. However, he has recently made significant progress and participated in non-contact drills. Mitchell is expected to return to full practice soon.
Jarrett Allen
Center Jarrett Allen underwent surgery on his broken left finger in December and is expected to miss approximately four more weeks. Allen is a key part of the Cavaliers' defense and his absence leaves a significant hole in the frontcourt.
Ricky Rubio
Veteran guard Ricky Rubio suffered a torn ACL in December and will miss the remainder of the season. Rubio was expected to play a major role for the Cavs as a backup point guard, but his injury has forced the team to adjust its plans.
Other Injuries
In addition to Mitchell, Allen, and Rubio, several other Cavaliers players have dealt with minor injuries this season. Here's a brief update on each:
- Kevin Love: Sprained thumb (day-to-day)
- Darius Garland: Ankle soreness (day-to-day)
- Isaac Okoro: Calf strain (out indefinitely)
The Cavaliers will continue to monitor the status of their injured players and provide updates as they become available. With a number of key players sidelined, the team will need to find ways to overcome these challenges and compete for a playoff berth.
