Magic’s Harris returns for Gm. 7; Cavs’ Allen out

NBA

Orlando Magic starting guard Gary Harris is available to play in Sunday’s decisive Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the host Cleveland Cavaliers, coach Jamahl Mosley said.

Harris sat out Orlando’s victory in Game 6 on Friday due to a right hamstring strain that he suffered in Game 5 on Tuesday. He has averaged 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in the five games during the series.

Cleveland All-Star center Jarrett Allen, who was listed as questionable on the NBA injury report, has been ruled out of Game 7, with Isaac Okoro set to return to the starting lineup.

Allen, 26, has sat out the past two games due to a rib contusion. He averaged 17.0 points and 13.8 rebounds in the first four games of the series.

When asked Sunday morning if Allen would be available for Game 7, Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff told reporters: “We’ll see.”

The winner of Sunday’s game will face the top-seeded Boston Celtics in the conference semifinals.
