Allen questionable for Friday's game due to finger injury

Jarrett Allen (finger) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers. Allen is coming off arguably the best season of his career in 2023-24, where he set new career highs with 16.5 points and 2.7 assists per game. He also averaged 10.5 rebounds, the second-best mark of his career, and maintained his streak of averaging at least 1.0 blocks per game in every season. Additionally, 2023-24 was the fifth consecutive season that Allen shot better than 61.0 percent from the field. He was sidelined mid-way through the first round of the playoffs and remained out as his squad battled into the second round. In 81 games played between the regular season and playoffs, Allen reached the 20-point mark on 23 occasions, including two with at least 30, and a season-high of 33 points. He had at least 10 rebounds in 47 outings, including 13 games with at least 15 rebounds and a season-high 23 boards. He also had 44 double-doubles on the year. After signing a three-year extension this offseason, Allen heads into his fifth season as a member of the Cavaliers, maintaining a firm role as the team's starting center and defensive anchor.
