Jarrett Allen (ankle) inactive again for Cavaliers Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) has been ruled out again for Wednesday versus the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Allen will have to wait until at least Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers to make his season debut. Evan Mobley will start at center again and Tristan Thompson will play more minutes off the bench. There will also continue to be more work for Emoni Bates and Georges Niang in the Cavaliers' frontcourt.
Mobley is averaging 39.6 FanDuel points through four games, with 15.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.3 blocks in 32.5 minutes per game. He has an $8,300 salary on Wednesday's 13-game slate. The Knicks are allowing the seventh-fewest FanDuel points per game to centers this season.
