The Cleveland Cavaliers faced a tough end to their season as injuries plagued their roster, ultimately impacting their playoff performance. Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen found themselves on the injury report, diminishing the team’s chances of success against the Boston Celtics.
In a recent interview with “Run It Back,” Marcus Morris shed light on Allen’s injury during the second round of the playoffs. Morris expressed his belief that, if in the same position, he would have chosen to play through the injury.
Allen had been battling a bruised rib towards the end of the season, forcing him to sit out the series against the Celtics. His absence was sorely felt, especially against a Celtics team missing their own key player, Kristaps Porzingis.
Following the season’s conclusion, reports surfaced suggesting that some within the team felt Allen could have done more to contribute. Morris’s comments only added fuel to the fire, indicating a potential rift within the Cavaliers’ locker room.
With rumors swirling about Allen’s future with the team, the speculation only intensifies. The Cavaliers missed Allen’s presence when it mattered most, raising questions about whether the outcome could have been different if he had been available.
As the offseason approaches, all eyes will be on the Cavaliers and their next steps in light of this disappointing end to their season.
