Allen was ruled out in the first half of Cleveland’s 104–96 victory over Toronto with a quad contusion after scoring six points in 10 minutes. It is unclear exactly when the finger injury occurred.
Allen also got kneed in the quad tonight during Cleveland’s win over Toronto, but was diagnosed with a broken finger that will now require further evaluation and sideline the star center. https://t.co/cxXy2MaBia

The reported injury will sidetrack a banner year for Allen in his first full season with the Cavaliers. The 23-year-old center has been a force on both ends of the floor, averaging 16.3 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 55 games played. He was named to his first All-Star Game as an injury replacement for James Harden in February.
