CLEVELAND — The banged-up Cavaliers have yet another bruise — or two.
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.
