CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The Cavaliers early-season struggles are mostly due to injuries and things should improve, NBA analyst Brett Siegel told 19 News Friday.
Max Strus has missed the entire season with a broken foot, while center Jarrett Allen and point guard Darius Garland have missed significant time as well.
Cleveland fell to 21-18 with a Thursday night loss at Minnesota, which puts the team tied for 7th in the East.
The Cavs won 64 games a year ago; their team payroll and luxury tax bill are both highest in the league by a wide margin.
