Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor#Cavs Jarrett Allen’s bulky splint was replaced by black tape. He used his left hand throughout a pregame workout. Layups, floaters, catches. There are encouraging signs. But sources tell @clevelanddotcom pessimism surrounds Tuesday’s availability

Brian Mahoney @briancmahoneyLooking ahead to Tuesday if things hold, Drummond is playing too well to not have a good, defensive big on him. Jarrett Allen would really help the Cavs, who were hurt by Drummond on Friday. – 4:46 PM

Mary Schmitt Boyer/Jodie Valade @PDcavsinsiderThe Cavs are struggling as of late and hope to get Jarrett Allen back for the play-in games. Either way, Darius Garland says they’re ready. https://t.co/cU7lyln1u9 Photo: Joshua Gunter, https://t.co/Hu25cO332r #Cavs pic.twitter.com/zGTcThRKz8 – 2:01 PM

More on this storyline
If the Cavs lose to Brooklyn, they get one more shot to advance to the playoffs, hosting the Atlanta-Charlotte winner in the final play-in game on Friday night. Those extra days could be important when it comes to Allen’s recovery. One source who believes it’s likely Allen will miss the Brooklyn matchup said the All-Star center would probably be “50-50″ to play in the potential second play-in game. Then again, an upset against the Nets Tuesday night would have Cleveland idle until the weekend, paving the way for Allen’s return at some point in the first-round series. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / April 11, 2022 Allen suffered a fractured finger on March 6, causing him to miss the final 18 games of the regular season. The fracture, sources say, is at the lower portion of the finger. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / April 11, 2022 Kelsey Russo: On the latest injury report, #Cavs Evan Mobley is listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game against Brooklyn. Mobley was able to do “everything” at practice here in Orlando J.B. Bickerstaff said today. Jarrett Allen is listed as out. He went through an individual workout today. -via Twitter @kelseyyrusso / April 7, 2022
