On Saturday evening, the Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Boston Celtics in Ohio for Game 3 of their second-round playoff series.

For the game, the Cavs could remain without one of their best players, as Jarrett Allen is officially listed as questionable on the injury report.

The 2022 NBA All-Star has missed each of the previous five games, so this would be his sixth straight out of the starting lineup (if he doesn't play).

Via Underdog NBA: "Jarrett Allen (rib) listed questionable for Saturday."
