CLEVELAND: The banged-up Cavaliers have yet another bruise.
Scrappy guard Matthew Dellavedova, who has emerged as an unlikely star during this postseason, was hospitalized early Wednesday after suffering from severe cramps after Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Dellavedova scored 20 points and played 38 minutes in Cleveland’s 96-91 win over Golden State on Tuesday night as the Cavs took a 2-1 lead in the series. Dellavedova has been starting in place of All-Star Kyrie Irving, who broke his kneecap in Game 1 and was just discharged from the Cleveland Clinic following surgery.
The Cavs said Dellavedova received IV treatments at Quicken Loans Arena following the game before he was taken by ambulance to the hospital for further procedures.
