The Cavs said Saturday that Allen got hurt this week in one of their first training camp practices. The 6-foot-11 Allen underwent an MRI on Friday and has started a treatment and rehab program.

Allen, who averaged 14.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks last season, will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Cavaliers announced his status will be updated as appropriate.

The Cavs open the season on Oct. 25 at Brooklyn.

Allen has averaged 14.5 points and 10.1 rebounds in three seasons for Cleveland, which acquired the affable 25-year-old in 2021 from the Nets in a 3-team trade.
