CLEVELAND (AP) -Cavaliers forward Anderson Varejao is not expected to miss any time after spraining his right ankle playing in an exhibition game for Brazil’s national team.
Varejao hurt his ankle in a collision during a game on Wednesday in Logrono, Spain. A spokeswoman for Brazil’s team said an MRI after the game was normal. Varejao is expected to play against France as the Brazilians tune up for the world championships, which begin Aug. 28 in Turkey.
One of the NBA’s top reserves, the 6-foot-11 Varejao averaged 8.6 points and 7.6 rebounds in 76 games for the Cavs last season. The team will be counting on him following the departures of LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal.
