The Cleveland Cavaliers 2023-24 season ended in utter disappointment. They went 48-34 during the regular season and notched the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.

Despite beating the Orlando Magic in the first round, they fell to the Boston Celtics in five games in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Before even getting to the second round, center Jarrett Allen suffered a rib injury in the second half of Game 4 against the Orlando Magic. He initially got hit by Orlando’s Franz Wagner in Game 1, then got hit again by Wagner in Game 4.

He ultimately missed the rest of the playoff run for the Cavs and a veteran forward seemed to throw Allen under the bus.
