Cavs: John Henson could be a valuable reserve piece for contenders

The Cleveland Cavaliers have gotten quality play out of big man John Henson when he’s been active for the club.

That’s been a pleasant surprise, as Henson did not play at all last season for Cleveland after he was a piece sent over in a three-team trade by the Milwaukee Bucks (which also the Washington Wizards).

That was the case because of a reported torn left wrist ligament, and unfortunately for Henson, he missed all of the preseason due to reported hamstring and then ankle ailments.

Henson also missed 17 games after making an appearance in Cleveland’s second game of the 2019-20 season against the Indiana Pacers due to a reported hamstring strain, which was seemingly in relation to his prior hamstring issue.
