Cavs could be getting key contributor back for rematch with Heat
The Cavaliers could be receiving some much-needed good news.

Friday’s contest against the Miami Heat could be a fourth. Allen, who has missed the team’s last 10 games with a knee injury, is questionable for Friday’s rematch. The Cavs made a bold decision at the deadline by sending out a much-younger Darius Garland for Harden.
That move was done with the hopes that they would have a better chance of winning a title in the next few seasons, even if it cost them some long-term security. One of the issues of doing a move that drastic is that there isn’t much time to see how it all works. Support us and Let ‘Em Know with HOMAGE!
