Questioned on whether center Jarrett Allen will play, #Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said they have not ruled anybody out for Friday’s game vs. Hawks. “We haven’t ruled anybody in, either,” Bickerstaff said. – 2:24 PM

Nate McMillan said the Hawks are preparing as if Jarrett Allen will be available for Cleveland tomorrow.
He said even if he doesn’t play, the Cavs’ size still presents a challenge for Atlanta. – 12:27 PM

Obviously don’t have Jarrett Allen on the floor tonight but still crazy to see he and Caris LeVert playing such a big role on a Cavs team lining up against their former squad tonight. Both were shipped out in the four-teamer that brought James Harden last season. pic.twitter.com/M5TCVc8NX0 – 7:41 PM

Kind of the same story so far in the play-in game as we saw when the Cavs were here Friday night. They just don’t have anyone who can play Andre Drummond with Jarrett Allen still not back. Markkanen tried, has two fouls in six minutes and goes to the bench. – 7:20 PM

Kevin Durant with a monster block on Lauri Markkanen. Jarrett Allen probably sitting on the bench thinking, ‘I did that too, once.’ Drummond with the dunk and the foul. Durant with the fist pump after the whistle. – 7:19 PM

The Brooklyn pick is going to be WAY better than expected. There are no complaints, but the two things that likely kept this from becoming a lottery pick were Jarrett Allen’s injury and the New York Knicks. – 5:13 PM

Shams Charania: Cavaliers All-Star center Jarrett Allen is out for Play-In Tournament game vs. Nets on Tuesday night. Allen has been rehabbing a fractured left finger that he suffered March 6. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / April 11, 2022
Even though the usage of his left hand and J.B. Bickerstaff’s proclamation about progress were positive signs, sources tell cleveland.com there’s pessimism surrounding Allen’s availability Tuesday night. Bickerstaff, a source said, is mentally preparing for Allen to be out. Another source called him playing “unrealistic,” only leaving open the possibility based on Allen’s extreme competitiveness level. The Cavs are expected to practice before leaving for New York Monday afternoon. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / April 11, 2022
