Cavaliers Resting Four Starters Due To Flight Issues
Flight delays related to the nationwide ground stop affected the Cavaliers’ trip back to Cleveland after playing in Miami Friday night. As a result, Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Jarrett Allen and Peyton Watson will all sit out tonight’s game against Dallas, according to Christian Clark of The Athletic (Twitter link).
The Cavs weren’t able to fly out of Miami until 9:00 a.m. on Saturday and didn’t arrive home until around noon, which was less than eight hours before game time, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com writes in a subscriber-only story. That added to the fatigue of a three-game road trip that began Monday in Charlotte.
