Cavaliers Status Update
The Cleveland Cavaliers released status updates on Larry Nance Jr., Jarrett Allen and Sam Merrill.
Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. injured his right calf during Friday night’s game at Atlanta. An MRI on Saturday at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health revealed a Grade 1 soleus strain. Nance Jr. will begin treatment and is expected to miss approximately 3-4 weeks.
Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen will be listed as OUT versus Boston with a right finger strain.

Allen will miss approximately one week and his return to play will be updated as appropriate.
