CLEVELAND — Cleveland Cavaliers All-Sar center Jarrett Allen has a bruised bone in his left ankle and will be sidelined at least two weeks, putting his availability for the start of the season in question. The Cavs said Allen got hurt this week in one of their first training camp practices. The 6-foot-11 Allen underwent an MRI on Friday and has started a treatment and rehab program. Allen, who averaged 14.3 points and 9.8 rebounds last season, will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The team said his status "will be updated as appropriate." The Cavs open the season on Oct. 25 at Brooklyn.
