Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen, who is out indefinitely after suffering a fractured left middle finger on March 6 against the Toronto Raptors, may return before the end of the regular season.
Per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Allen has elected against surgery, and there is optimism he'll be back before the Cavs close the year against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, April 10.
The 23-year-old Allen has dominated in his first full season with the Cavs, averaging 16.1 points on 67.7 percent shooting, 10.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game while earning his first-ever All-Star selection.
