Cleveland -- in the midst of a five-game-in-eight-night stretch and playing the first of a back-to-back home-road series with rival New York -- will be without three members of its usual nightly rotation, including two starters.
Nobody Asked Me, But ... Can Guardians land a ‘long shot?’ Deshaun Watson’s arm? – Terry PlutoStarting point guard Darius Garland and center Jarrett Allen won’t play Tuesday night. Ty Jerome, the team’s backup point guard, has also been ruled out. Star guard Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland’s leading scorer, is officially listed as questionable.
“I think you know what Jarrett is going to do, but what we have to do is figure out a way to recreate some of the random things that can happen,” Bickerstaff said when asked whether one full practice is enough before Allen can play again. “We will do that before we put him on the floor.” Mitchell complained of cramps in both hamstrings late in the fourth quarter of Friday’s 108-105 loss. He sat out the next night and had a day off Sunday. Mitchell participated in practice and is expected to go through Tuesday’s shootaround -- although his availability likely won’t be revealed until closer to Tuesday’s tip off.STATES: AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NJ, NY, OH, PA, VA, WV. 21+ and present in participating staes.
