Published reports this evening are saying that Cavaliers forward Anderson Varejao will miss at least the next two games with a sprained ankle. Varejao is returning to Cleveland from the west coast on Tuesday morning.
The Cavaliers play in Portland on Wednesday and then travel to Seattle on their west coast trip. It is unlikely that Varejao would be sent back to Cleveland if the team expected him to play in either of those two games.
Varejao hurt his ankle on Sunday against the Lakers late in the third quarter.
Both X-Rays and an MRI showed no additional problems beyond the sprained ankle, but the Cavaliers are obviously playing it safe with the important role-player.
