Jarrett Allen heard all of the criticism within the aftermath of his playoff rib damage — together with the biting phrases from former teammate Marcus Morris Sr. As per common, Allen merely brushed it off. “It takes a lot more to get under my skin,” Allen said during the Cavs’ annual media day on Monday afternoon at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. “One humorous factor that I at all times chortle at, you by no means perceive how dangerous a rib damage is till it occurs to you. I used to be different individuals, ‘Oh, it might’t be that dangerous.’ It lastly occurred to me and I’m like, ‘Oh rattling, this sucks.’” -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / October 1, 2024
