Jarrett Allen
March 2026

Jarrett Allen returned to Cleveland’s lineup after missing 10 games with a knee injury, giving the Cavaliers a major lift with the playoffs approaching. His comeback strengthens a team that has struggled to stay fully healthy and badly needed his rim protection and interior presence. Kenny Atkinson said Allen would likely be on a minutes restriction as Cleveland eased him back in against Miami. His return is especially important because the Cavaliers are still without other rotation pieces and have had limited time to build chemistry with their reshaped roster.
