Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen sustained a left ankle bone bruise in practice recently. An MRI at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health yesterday confirmed the injury, and he will begin a period of treatment and rehabilitation, the team announced Saturday.
According to the Cavs, Allen will be re-evaluated in two weeks, and his status will be updated as appropriate.
Last season, the 25-year-old averaged 14.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per contest.
The Cavs begin the preseason on Tuesday in Atlanta against the Hawks. The team starts the regular season on October 25 in Brooklyn against the Nets.
