TEAMS: Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers are once again finding themselves on the short end with players like Anderson Varejao who left last nights game with a right wrist sprain and Kyrie Irving out for the weekend with a concussion. The Cavaliers just regained the services of Tristan Thompson who missed games with a ankle sprain and Daniel Gibson who missed games and was hospitalized with a soft tissue infection in his next while in Boston.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have shown some resiliency with a win over the Clippers. Last night the Cavaliers could have used their big man in the middle Varejao as the Cavs tried to down the Bucks at the Q. The Cavaliers went out and signed Ben Uzoh from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA Development League, to a ten day contract. Lets hope this is the end of the Cavaliers injury streak and the guys like Varejao and Irving can get back to playing Basketball very soon.
