As the Cleveland Cavaliers have players like Max Strus returning from injury, the latest news from the team has revealed a key star who will miss time. While Cavs star Jarrett Allen is absent due to a knee injury, the team has sketched out a tentative timetable for his return.
Continuing on his ex’s, formerly Twitter, page, Cleveland would say Allen would miss the next three games due to “right knee tendonitis.”
“Allen will be listed out for the Cavaliers’ upcoming three-game road trip due to right knee tendonitis,” the team said. “He suffered the injury during the second half of Cleveland’s March 3 game versus Detroit and has missed the last five games. He will continue treatment and rehabilitation, and will be updated on his return to play as appropriate.”

With Allen already missing time due to a knee injury, his last game was played on March 3, where Cleveland won 113–109 over the Detroit Pistons. The veteran center played 21 minutes in that game, recording eight points on four-of-seven shooting from the field with three rebounds.
With the news of missing the upcoming three-game road trip, Allen will miss his eighth consecutive game. So far this season, Allen is averaging 15.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game on 63.6 shooting from the field in his ninth year in the association.
At any rate, it remains to be seen when Allen is ready to return as the upcoming road trip begins on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, with a hoped-for return when the Cavs return home to take on the Orlando Magic on Tuesday, March 24. Cleveland currently holds a record of 41–27, placing them in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
