Cavaliers All-Star Allen back for play-in game against Hawks
Cavaliers All-Star center Jarrett Allen was back in the starting lineup for the play-in game against Atlanta after missing 19 games with a broken fingerAPRIL 15, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
In starting lineup Allen (finger) will officially play and start in Friday's play-in game against the Hawks, Kelsey Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Allen has been sidelined since March 6, but he still figures to see heavy minutes given the situation. His presence in the starting lineup means Isaac Okoro will come off the bench.

Expected to play Friday Allen (finger) is expected to play Friday against the Hawks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Unless he suffers a setback in warmups, the Cavs' All-Star center will be available for Friday's do-or-die play-in game against the Hawks. His presence will be beneficial against Atlanta's Clint Capela, freeing Evan Mobley to roam and disrupt more defensively. Allen could be rusty given that he hasn't played since March 6, but he'll still presumably see heavy minutes given the situation.

Will attempt to play Friday Allen (finger) will attempt to play in Friday's play-in contest against Atlanta, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact While Allen was able to go through shootaround Thursday, he remains questionable on the Cavs' official injury report. However, the implication from Charania's tweet is that Allen will warm up with the intent to play Friday night, which would mark his first action since March 6. If Allen does end up taking the court, it'll likely be a touch-and-go situation, so rostering him in DFS contests could be a risky proposition.

Won't play Tuesday Allen (finger) has been ruled out for Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Nets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reprots.
Impact As expected, Allen will remain out for the start of the play-in tournament, which means Evan Mobley will continue to start at center while Kevin Love and Lamar Stevens garner increased roles off the bench. If the Cavaliers lose Tuesday, they would face the winner of the Hawks-Hornets matchup Thursday in a win-or-go home game, but Allen's status past Tuesday's game remains unknown. On a positive note, the All-Star center was able to go through a pregame workout ahead of Sunday's win over the Bucks, so he appears to be making substantial progress and is nearing a return to action.

Cavs Prepare to Go Without Jarrett Allen for Play-In Game Jarrett Allen hasn't played since suffering a fractured finger on his left hand during the Cavs' March 6 game against the Toronto Raptors.
APRIL 11, 2022 • NESN.COM
Not expected to play Tuesday Allen (finger) is not expected to be available for Tuesday's play-in game against the Nets, Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor reports.
Impact While Allen is said to be progressing in his recovery from a fractured finger on his left hand, one team source cited by Fedor notes that it would be "unrealistic" for the big man to make his return to action Tuesday. On a more positive note, Allen was able to go through a pregame workout Sunday afternoon, during which he shed his splint and was able to use his left hand -- albeit somewhat uncomfortably. At this stage in his recovery, his return may mostly come down to a matter of pain tolerance, a sentiment echoed by head coach JB Bickerstaff, who spoke on Allen following Sunday's win over Milwaukee. "It's a structure thing first and foremost," BIckerstaff said. "You always want to make sure that it's as healthy as it possibly can be. In his position, the banging that he does, on the rim, like blocking shots, all those things. Then it becomes pain tolerance. Then strengthening and his ability to use that finger. But he's making steps. It'll be one of those things where the day will come and he'll be ready to go." For now, Allen should be considered doubtful for Tuesday's game, but if the Cavs qualify for the eight-team playoff field, he'll likely be on track to return sometime during Round 1.
