It’s tough news for Matthews, Randolph and Mooney, but undeniably great news for Bolden and Pelle.
Bolden averaged 5.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game this preseason.
As for Pelle, he averaged 2.4 points and 3.0 rebounds per game in his 24 appearances last season.
The Cavs wrapped up their preseason games on a low note as they lost to the New York Knicks, 119-83, on Friday. They lost to the Knicks twice after winning both of their first two preseason games.
Now, the Cavs will look to get right ahead of their season opener against the Charlotte Hornets.
No matter the outcome of next week’s opener, it will be great to see the Wine and Gold playing meaningful basketball for the first time in months.
