Injuries lead Cavaliers to face a huge loss against the Leakers

On Sunday the Cleveland Cavaliers faced a blowout loss from the Leakers and score was 127-113. After the match, LeBron stated that Cavaliers are now suffering from some serious issues and that has made to judge the team for now. Cleveland came down to 6-6 since the last trade deadline.

Sometimes the team wants to bring out the most from the players no matter who is playing. But, sometimes it is difficult to overcome when the team is suffering from injuries. LeBron added “We have pretty much five guys out of our top nine or top 10 of our rotation not playing because of injuries. It’s next man up, but sometimes you just fall short.”

As per the report, the Cleveland Cavaliers was playing the game without Kevin Love who is now suffering from fractured left hand, Tristan Thompson with sprained right ankle, Rodney Hood is taking rest for his lower back strain, and Cedi Osman is not playing due to his left hip flexor. That was the reason which made Tyronn Lue, coach of Cleveland to bring in Ante Zizic, seldom-used rookie center and John Holland to the match for longer minutes.

James questioned, “Can you judge what we have on the floor?”
When he asked about his biggest concern, he simply stated that it is the injuries. Well, on the other side, taking advantages of this, Isaiah Thomas managed to score 20 points which include nine assists. He scored 14 points in the second half.

Commenting on this Thomas stated “I don’t need to show anybody. They know what I can do”. He stated that he was not playing for any revenge. He just wanted to win the match, and the team has beaten a good team, he further added. Overworking of players can lead to further injuries, and that is now worrying the coaching staff.
