Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Memphis Grizzlies 108-101

Max Strus ended with 11 points and 10 rebounds, Jarrett Allen finished with 14 points and nine rebounds, while Caris LeVert contributed 16 points in a bench position. Due to a left ankle injury, Allen departed the game three minutes into the third quarter. He did not return, and Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff stated following the game that he was unaware of any updates about the centre. Allen had a franchise-record 16 double-doubles in a row before the injury.

After missing 19 games due to a fractured jaw, Darius Garland returned from his absence and scored nine points with seven assists. In a win over Detroit at home on Wednesday night, he scored 19 points. After recovering from knee surgery this week, power forward Evan Mobley did not play for Cleveland. The Cavaliers are keeping an eye on his playing time.
