Allen (finger) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Allen is managing a strained right finger ahead of the action. The star big man could go through Friday's pregame warmups to determine his status. Evan Mobley could shift over to center if Allen is out, which would open up more playing time for De'Andre Hunter and Dean Wade at power forward.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Won't play vs. Toronto
Rotowire
Allen (finger) won't play in Friday's game against the Raptors, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Allen was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture in his left finger Thursday, and it appears that the Cavaliers will evaluate him on a day-to-day basis.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Cruises to 20-point night
Rotowire
Allen totaled 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 116-95 victory over the Pistons.
Allen looked sharp on the offensive end and led the frontcourt in scoring. Consistency has been a concern through his first four appearances of the new season, as he's been held to eight points or fewer in two games but has also reached the 20-point mark twice. It was nice to see Allen piece together a strong performance on a night that Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley were also effective, proving there is plenty of production to go around.

Allen posted an efficient shooting line, needing only 11 attempts from the field to reach the 20-point threshold.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Quiet in season opener
Rotowire
Allen dropped four points (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two steals and an assist over 28 minutes in Wednesday's 119-111 loss to the Knicks.
Allen only attempted four shots Wednesday, which only occurred nine times during the 2024-25 season. He also shoots 71.1 percent from the free-throw line and 64.1 percent from the field in his career, so expect his numbers to trend towards those lines and look less like Wednesday's stat line as the season progresses. The Cavs' starting center will look to get right Friday against the Nets.
