Cleveland Cavaliers Make Jarrett Allen Injury Announcement Before 76ers Game

The Cleveland Cavaliers have listed starting center Jarrett Allen as questionable with a right knee contusion ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Allen suffered the injury during a collision with Jared McCain against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, exiting after playing just seven minutes. His status leaves Cleveland awaiting a final decision before facing 76ers center Joel Embiid.

If Allen cannot play, Evan Mobley is projected to shift to center, altering Cleveland's interior defensive setup. The Cavaliers are also dealing with several other roster absences, with Peyton Watson and Tyrese Proctor listed as questionable, while Jaylon Tyson and Nae’Qwan Tomlin remain ruled out.
