Cavs’ Jarrett Allen fractures finger, questionable vs. Raptors

The Cavaliers’ injury list is growing.

Cleveland announced Thursday that center Jarrett Allen fractured his left ring finger during Wednesday night’s loss in Boston.

Team doctors examined Allen after the game, and an X-ray at Cleveland Clinic Sports Medicine confirmed a non-displaced fracture of his distal phalanx.

Allen will receive treatment and evaluation over the next day and is officially questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Raptors at Rocket Arena.

The Cavs (3-2) are already short-handed, with Darius Garland (toe), Max Strus (foot), and Sam Merrill (hip) all sidelined. Merrill’s status is TBD for Friday.

Four of Cleveland’s next five games are at home, giving them a crucial early stretch to regain some rhythm, and perhaps health.
