UPDATE: Jarrett Allen is a game-time decision (h/t Bobby Manning of Celtics on CLNS).

Jarrett Allen remains a game time decision. Dean Wade’s return will happen when he starts to string consecutive days together.

On Thursday evening, the Cleveland Cavaliers will face off against the Boston Celtics (in Boston) for Game 2 of their second-round playoff series.

For the game, the Cavs could remain without one of their best players, as 2022 NBA All-Star Jarrett Allen is officially listed as questionable.

Allen has missed each of the previous four games, so this would be his fifth straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play).

Via Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com on Wednesday: "Dean Wade remains OUT tomorrow night for Game 2. Jarrett Allen is QUESTIONABLE and I have no doubt that J.B. Bickerstaff will say, “We’ll see” when asked about Allen’s status ahead of the game tomorrow."
