In three games since getting back on the court, the veteran center is averaging 12.3 points, 7.0 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 61.5 percent from the floor.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Blocks two shots in loss
Jarrett Allen closed Wednesday's 127-111 loss to Chicago with 14 points (7-9 FG), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes.After a lackluster return to action against Charlotte on Sunday, Allen responded with a well-rounded effort Wednesday. Allen is still working his way back from a finger injury that held him out for nine games, but he should hold down Cleveland's center position for the foreseeable future, especially with Evan Mobley (calf) out for a couple of weeks. Allen has played 30 minutes only twice this season and not since Nov. 5.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Underwhelms in return
Jarrett Allen (finger) recorded nine points (3-8 FG, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes Sunday in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 119-111 overtime loss to the Hornets.Though Allen was back in action following a six-game absence due to a right middle finger strain, the Cavaliers appeared to deliberately keep his minutes in check Sunday as he works to regain conditioning. For the season, Allen is shooting a career-low 56.3 percent from the field and is averaging 14.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 25.9 minutes per game, but he could see a boost in his production once he's fully ramped back up. Evan Mobley (calf) is expected to miss multiple weeks, which could clear the way for Allen to take on more playing time and usage in the frontcourt.
