Jarrett Allen Suffers Fractured Finger

Cavaliers All-Star center Jarrett Allen has suffered a fractured finger and is expected to be out indefinitely, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).

Allen suffered an injury during Cleveland's match against Toronto on Sunday. He was ruled out of the competition due to a left quad intussusception, however, finishing the night with six points and two rebounds in 10 minutes. The Cavaliers won the game 104–96.

Allen has played in 55 of the team's 64 matches this season. He averaged a career-high 16.3 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks during his first All-Star campaign, shooting an efficient 68% from the floor.

The Cavaliers' upcoming game is against the Pacers on Tuesday, the Heat on Friday and the Bulls on Saturday. Should Allen miss several games, big men Kevin Love, Dean Wade and Ed Davis are candidates to receive more game time.
