Varejao Out For Season

[RipCity32]

CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao will likely miss the rest of the season because of a torn tendon in his right ankle.

Varejao got hurt during practice on Thursday, and was placed in a walking boot. He missed Friday's game against Golden State before undergoing a second MRI in Phoenix. The Cavs said Sunday's test revealed "a complete tear of the peroneus longus in the midfoot of the right ankle and foot."

Losing Varejao is devastating news for the Cavs, who have dropped nine in a row and 19 of 20. He's their leading rebounder, best interior defender and provides constant energy with his hustle.

And the Cavs season gets that much worse.

On the bright side they can draft their new franchise player.

One of our few pretty good trade chips.. I would have dealt him at the deadline but now we can't do that.

On the bright side they can draft their new franchise player.

And hopefully it's Kyrie Irving. Coach Scott has had a lot of success with PGs so why not get the best one in the draft.

Won't miss him at all, I hate him. But always hate to hear of an injury.
