Cavs fans were scratching their heads during the second half of the game against the Spurs—where’s Jarrett Allen? Did he tweak something? Was it the coach’s decision? Turns out, it’s none of that.
According to the Cavs TV broadcast, Allen’s early exit is actually part of a “strategic compromise”. The team is trying to pull off a bit of a balancing act—giving Allen some much-needed rest while still keeping his ironman streak of playing all 82 games alive. Smart, right?

Basically, he suits up, plays a bit, and then gets the rest of the night off. It’s a clever way to manage minutes without technically taking a game off. The move shows how much the Cavs value Allen’s presence—both on the court and as a symbol of consistency—and how they’re thinking long-term while still competing game to game.
