Cavs Add Former All-Star to Injury List Ahead of Pistons Matchup
Cleveland Cavaliers Face New Setback with Jarrett Allen’s Illness
The Cleveland Cavaliers are once again dealing with the challenge of keeping their core players on the court. This time, it’s Jarrett Allen who has been listed as questionable due to an illness ahead of Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. The team is hoping for a positive outcome, but the 2 PM tip-off doesn’t give Allen much time to recover before the game.
If Allen does play, it could be a testament to his dedication and resilience. However, the early start time might actually work in his favor. A 7 PM game could be more challenging if he’s still feeling unwell, but this earlier schedule allows him to rest after the game. It’s a small advantage that could make a big difference in his performance.
In addition to Allen, Sam Merrill and Dean Wade are also listed as questionable. Merrill missed the previous game due to a left ankle sprain, while Wade is sidelined with a knee contusion. Larry Nance Jr. and Max Strus remain out of action, which adds to the team’s challenges.
Despite these setbacks, the Cavaliers have shown signs of improvement as they’ve started to get healthier. They’ve won five of their last seven games, and a win against the Pistons would be a significant statement. However, the possibility of losing Allen, Wade, and Merrill makes this game more difficult than it already is.
Allen isn’t the only Cavalier to face health issues this season. De’Andre Hunter missed the New Year’s Eve game against the Phoenix Suns due to an illness. It seems like something has been circulating within the team, and the coaching staff is likely monitoring the situation closely.
Even without their key players, the Cavaliers still have enough talent to compete. The trio of Evan Mobley, Donovan Mitchell, and Darius Garland can provide a strong foundation for the team. If they manage to pull off a win, it would be a clear sign that the Cavaliers are on the path to becoming serious contenders again.
This game is crucial for the team’s momentum. A victory would not only boost their confidence but also show that they are capable of competing at a high level. The road to becoming a top team in the Eastern Conference is long, but each win brings them closer to that goal.
As the team continues to navigate through injuries and challenges, the focus remains on staying healthy and maintaining their recent success. With the right approach and some luck, the Cavaliers could be on the verge of a significant turnaround.
For now, the team will have to rely on their depth and determination. The upcoming game against the Pistons is a test they must pass if they want to solidify their position as a rising force in the league. The next few weeks will be critical in determining whether the Cavaliers can sustain their momentum and make a real impact in the 2026 season.
