To miss at least one week
The Cavaliers announced Sunday that Allen (finger) is expected to miss at least one week.
Analyse
Following a three-game absence due to a strained right finger, Allen returned to action in Friday's loss to the Hawks. However, he's now expected to miss an extended period due to the finger injury. With the big man and Larry Nance (calf) both sidelined, Dean Wade, Jaylon Tyson, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Thomas Bryant are candidates for increased playing time. Additionally, Evan Mobley will likely see more time at center.

Won't play Sunday
Allen (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Analyse
Allen will be held out of the front end of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set, marking his fourth absence in a five-game span. With the big man and Larry Nance (calf) both sidelined, Dean Wade, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Thomas Bryant are all candidates for increased minutes.
29. November 2025
Grabs eight boards in return
Allen (finger) posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes in Friday's 130-123 loss to the Hawks.
Analyse
Allen made his return from a three-game absence due to a right middle finger strain and didn't operate with any limitations, as he stepped back into the starting five and ended up surpassing his season-long average in minutes (26.1). The veteran center's scoring average is up nearly a full point from the 2024-25 campaign (13.5 points per game to 14.3), but his 57.3 percent mark from the field is down over 13.0 percentage points from last season.

Will play Friday
Allen (finger) is good to go for Friday's game in Atlanta, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analyse
Allen is back after a three-game stint on the sidelines, which should result in Larry Nance returning to the second unit, and Nae'Qwan Tomlin's minutes will dip. Thomas Bryant could drop from the rotation entirely with Allen available.
27. November 2025
Probable for Friday
Allen (finger) is probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Analyse
Allen is expected to return from a three-game absence Friday. With this news, Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Jaylon Tyson and Larry Nance could be less involved for Cleveland.
