Player News and Injuries

Breaking News: Sunday, May 11

Wallace started Game 3 of the Cavaliers' Eastern Conference semifinal series with Boston despite occasional dizziness from an inner ear infection and had one of his best performances since joining Cleveland in a midseason trade. His defensive presence inside was a major factor in the Cavaliers' 108-84 win, which pulled them within 2-1 in the series.
Wallace helped hold Kevin Garnett to 17 points, blocked shots and drew offensive fouls as the frustrated Celtics never could overcome a 13-point first quarter. Wallace finished with nine points - a season playoff high - along with nine rebounds, including seven offensive rebounds, two blocks, a steal and two assists.

Breaking News: Saturday, May 10

Wallace is unlikely to play in Game 3 against the Boston Celtics on Saturday night after missing the morning shootaround because of an inner ear infection.
Wallace started Game 2 but played less than 4 minutes before leaving when he became dizzy. He had tests on Friday at the Cleveland Clinic. If Wallace can't go, Anderson Varejao will take his place. The Brazilian made 13 starts during the regular season, averaging 7.9 points and 10.1 rebounds.
