Despite reports suggesting that Cavs center Anderson Varejao could return to provide a huge lift, Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com says that’s a no go.
Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao will not play in the 2015 NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors, a team official told Northeast Ohio Media Group on Friday.
Varejao is still recovering from a left Achilles tear he suffered in December. At this juncture, he hasn’t even been cleared to run.
The idea of a guy coming off an Achilles tear and getting wreck in the Finals was a bit too much to ask of Varejao.
