JARRETT ALLEN NEWS

Five rejections against Pistons Allen finished with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and five blocks in 32 minutes during Friday's 108-100 win over Detroit.

Impact The 25-year-old center has yet to record a double-double in seven games since missing the beginning of the season with an ankle injury, but Allen has begun to round into form on the defensive end, recording eight blocks over the last two contests. Friday was also the first time in 2023-24 he played 30 or more minutes, and as he returns to his usual workload, the rebounds and double-doubles should follow.

Mediocre in pivotal win Allen supplied 12 points (2-6 FG, 8-9 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Saturday's 118-110 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Fueled by converting at the free-throw line, Allen's 12 points on 10 true shot attempts is good efficiency. The biggest storyline is Allen's minutes restriction, which seems to be set around the 28-minute mark. Even with the cap, the 25-year-old is capable of larger performances than Saturday, but his overall ceiling is limited until the restriction is lifted.

Operating on minutes restriction Allen will be on a minute restriction for the foreseeable future, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. He has played three games since returning from an ankle sprain.

Impact Allen logged 26 and 28 minutes in Cleveland's prior two contests, which is likely the range that his minutes will fall in moving forward. Although it's unclear if Allen's ankle reacted poorly to his return, coach J.B. Bickerstaff said that the minutes restriction will be in place for an undetermined amount of time.

Strong outing in limited minutes Allen (ankle) posted 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 21 minutes in Friday's 121-116 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Allen picked up four fouls in the contest, but the Cavaliers may have been planning to limit his minutes anyway since he was making his season debut Friday after missing the team's first five games while recovering from an ankle sprain. Cleveland immediately reinserted Allen into the starting five at center, shifting Evan Mobley over to power forward while Isaac Okoro shifted to the bench. Assuming he's able to avoid foul trouble, Allen could see his minutes tick up a bit in Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Set to make season debut Allen (ankle) is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Pacers, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

Impact Allen has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing the first five games of the season with an ankle injury but will likely be on a minutes restriction. He will start alongside Evan Mobley in the frontcourt.

Participates in shootaround Allen (ankle) took part in the Cavaliers' morning shootaround Friday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Allen hasn't yet made his season debut due to a bone bruise in his left ankle, but he's questionable for Friday's matchup against the Pacers. While his availability for the game is still up in the air, his participation in the team's shootaround is certainly encouraging.

Questionable Friday Allen (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Pacers.

Impact Allen has yet to suit up this season while dealing with a bone bruise in his left ankle. However, his return to practice Wednesday, along with an initial question status instead of being immediately ruled out, is a good sign of his availability Friday.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Wednesday Allen (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Allen was able to practice Monday, but he'll still need more time to work his way back from a bone bruise in his left ankle. He'll miss a fifth consecutive game to begin the regular season, likely paving the way for Dean Wade to draw another start at power forward while Evan Mobley shifts over to center.

Won't play Tuesday Allen (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Impact Allen will miss a fourth straight game to start the season due to a bone bruise on his left ankle. However, the veteran center was able to practice Monday, so there's optimism he could make his season debut Wednesday in New York. In Allen's absence, Evan Mobley will likely start at center again, while Damian Jones and Tristan Thompson operate as backups.

Goes through practice Allen (ankle) was able to practice Monday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact Allen's ability to practice bodes well for his chances of making his season debut Tuesday against the Knicks, after the veteran center sat out Cleveland's first three games. Whenever Allen returns, Evan Mobley will shift over to power forward on the top unit and likely bump one of Isaac Okoro and Max Strus to a bench role.

Impact Allen will miss his second straight game to begin the regular season due to a left ankle bone bruise.

Out Wednesday Allen (ankle) will miss Wednesday's regular season opener against Brooklyn, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Impact Allen has been sidelined since Oct. 7 due to a left ankle bone bruise. There has been little word on Allen's ramp-up at practice, making his status for Friday's game against Oklahoma City murky. Evan Mobley should slide up and receive the lion's share of work at center, with Damian Jones spelling him.

Misses practice Monday Allen (ankle) did not practice on Monday, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

Impact Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he was unsure if Allen would be able to practice Tuesday, and that's notable because he wants his center to get in a practice before clearing him to play. More information on Allen's status for Wednesday's season opener at Brooklyn should arrive after Tuesday's practice. If Allen is unable to play, Evan Mobley shift to center, allowing payers like Georges Niang and Dean Wade to see more time at power forward.

Out again Friday Allen (ankle) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Pacers, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

Impact Allen continues to miss time due to an ankle injury, and his status for the regular-season opener against the Nets on Oct. 25 is under question. If Allen remains out, Damian Jones and Tristan Thompson would be candidates for increased minutes, but Evan Mobley may start at center.

Won't play Monday Allen (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Israeli club Maccabi Ra'anana, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Allen is still dealing with an ankle injury and will rest Monday, along with the rest of Cleveland's starters. The Cavaliers announced Oct. 7 that Allen would be re-evaluated in two weeks, so it's unclear whether he'll be available for Friday's preseason finale. However, if he's healthy by then, it's possible that he sees a fairly normal workload since the Cavaliers plan to use the first three quarters of that matchup as a dress rehearsal for the regular season.
