Jarrett Allen

Jarrett Allen says he is "50-50" on returning to play on Friday against the Hawks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

Fantasy Impact

Allen has been out since March 6, with a fractured finger, which he is still experiencing pain in. However, with the season on the line for the Cavaliers, Allen will make every effort to suit up and help his team secure the final playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.

Cavaliers C Jarrett Allen was a full participant in Cleveland’s walkthrough on Thursday as reported by LockedOnCavs’ Evan Dammarell.

Fantasy Impact

Jarrett Allen inches closer to an imminent return but it remains to be seen if that return will come Friday against Atlanta. The Cavaliers will welcome his interior defensive presence once he is able to return, even if his minutes are relatively limited at first. If Allen can’t return Friday, he will need his teammates to win or his return won’t come until next season. Evan Mobley will continue to see big minutes while Allen is out.

According to Shams Charania on Twitter, Jarrett Allen (finger) has been ruled out for Tuesday's play-in game vs. the Nets.

Fantasy Impact

The sliding Cavaliers will be without the services of Jarrett Allen on Tuesday as they square off against the 7/8 matchup in the play-in game. The team has continued to struggle without the center on the floor ranking in the bottom-third of the NBA in the latter half of the season without him. Lucky for the Cavaliers, Allen will get another chance to play if the team does lose the play-in game.

According to the NBA Injury Report, Jarrett Allen (finger) has been ruled out Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Allen will miss Sunday's finale as the team looks to stay out of the play-in tournament with a win. The veteran was seen shooting and warming up despite his finger injury. It's unclear if he will return in time for the playoffs but his minutes will continue to shift to Evan Monbley and Lamar Stevens.

According to Locked On Cavs’ Evan Dammarell, Cavaliers C Jarrett Allen is out for Monday’s game against Orlando.

Fantasy Impact

Allen has not played since March 6 and Cleveland has yet to determine a timeline for his return. The Cavaliers desperately need Allen and his 16.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game if they have any hope of competing in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Evan Mobley continues to start in Allen’s absence.
