Orlando Magic starting guard Gary Harris is available to play in Sunday’s decisive Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series, while Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star center Jarrett Allen has been ruled out.
Harris sat out Orlando’s victory in Game 6 on Friday due to a right hamstring strain that he suffered in Game 5 on Tuesday. He has averaged 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in the five games during the series.
After being listed as questionable on the NBA injury report, Allen was ruled out shortly before tipoff of Game 7, with Isaac Okoro to return to the starting lineup.
Allen, who grabbed 20 rebounds in Game 2, has sat out the past two games due to a rib contusion. He averaged 17.0 points and 13.8 rebounds in the first four games of the series.
When asked Sunday morning if Allen would be available for Game 7, Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff told reporters: “We’ll see.”
Allen averaged a career-high 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 77 games this season.
The winner of Sunday’s game will face the top-seeded Boston Celtics in the conference semifinals.
