Allen (finger) has elected to not undergo surgery to repair his fractured left middle finger and could possibly return by the end of the regular season, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
Allen sustained the injury against the Raptors on March 6 and has been sidelined since. The fifth-year big man made his first All-Star appearance this season and is averaging career highs in points (16.1) and rebounds (10.8). He's been a key piece in the Cavaliers' turnaround this season, and his availability for a playoff run would be a huge boost for the young squad.
