Cavaliers to be shorthanded (again) in Philly

The Cleveland Cavaliers will find themselves shorthanded when they head to Philadelphia.

At a time when the Cavaliers find themselves in the midst of a disappointing stretch of play, they will find themselves shorthanded yet again for Friday’s tilt in Philly. Cleveland will be without Caris LeVert and Dylan Windler with the possibly that Rajon Rondo also misses the contest.

This is far from ideal and the Cavaliers need to straighten things out sooner rather than later. The playoffs are not that far away and they have been limping for some time now. If the Cavs want to put up any sort of fight they need to get right and that starts with getting healthy. While big picture says not to fret over one game, trying to get LeVert accustomed to playing with his new teammates will be a priority considering he has only played four games with Cleveland after being acquired prior to the trade deadline.
