The Cavs are 3-4 this season without Allen and an absence of any length at this point could be detrimental to their chances of holding off surging New York.
“I have not been able to see him,” Bickerstaff said.
So, the Cavs wait. And hope. And hold their breath. For now, they are simply referring to it as a right eye injury. But there was concern inside the organization upon leaving Miami-Dade Arena shortly after 11 p.m.Following Ricky Rubio’s missed 3-pointer with less than four minutes remaining, Allen gained position inside the restricted circle and skied for the rebound.
Even though the officiating crew reviewed the play to see if it met the criteria for a flagrant foul, the call on the court was upheld. Adebayo was hit with a loose ball foul. Eventually, Allen got helped off the floor and escorted to the locker room for further evaluation, replaced by Evan Mobley for the final 3:53. Allen finished with six points and a game-high 13 boards, including four on the offensive end.
The Cavs are not scheduled to practice tomorrow in Miami before leaving for Charlotte -- the next stop on this four-game road trip. Allen’s status for Sunday’s game -- and beyond -- will likely be updated Saturday evening. Last season, the indispensable Allen suffered a fractured middle finger on his left hand in early March. That devastating injury sidelined him for the final 18 regular season games and played part in the team’s late-season collapse.
