6 years agoCleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Jordan Clarkson has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Indiana Pacers due to a lower back issue. His absence will likely create opportunities off the bench for Alec Burks, but David Nwaba could be in line for increased usage as well despite the Cavaliers’ erratic lineup deployments. Clarkson’s absence is his first of the season with his next chance to return to the floor coming Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets on the second leg of a back-to-back.--Jesse Borek
