Last season was not a notable one for Matthew Dellavedova. Unfortunately for Dellavedova and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the veteran lead guard couldn’t shake the injury bug.
Dellavedova suffered a severe concussion in Cleveland’s preseason opener of this now-past season, and that, combined with him previously enduring concussions in his career and not being able to ramp up his workouts for a while after limited his availability.
Dellavedova then, while it appeared as though he was getting on track to return, ended up having an emergency appendectomy in late February, and that seemingly sidelined him further.
