Anderson Varejao Can Not Replace Kevin Love in Playoffs

The Cleveland Cavaliers do not know how long Kevin Love could miss after today’s malicious attack that led to a separated shoulder. We wondered, and had a number of people ask us, if Anderson Varejao could come back to replace the Cavs power forward if he were to miss significant time.

Varejao was injured early in the season and some hoped he would be able to return near the end of the season or for the Playoffs. GM David Griffin and Head Coach David Blatt stated near the end of the season that the Cavs would be careful with Varejao’s recovery and that he would not be returning at all this season, even for the Playoffs.
