Jarrett Allen Heads Into 2026-27 Off an Efficient, Injury-Free Season in Cleveland
newsroom · 2 h agoJarrett Allen returns to the Cavaliers for a ninth NBA season as the starting center, coming off a 2025-26 campaign where he averaged 15.4 points and 8.5 rebounds on elite efficiency. He is not on the injury report heading into the new season, with the opener still ahead.
Last Season by the Numbers
Jarrett Allen played 56 games for Cleveland last season, averaging 27.1 minutes, 15.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.8 blocks. He turned the ball over just 1.3 times per game. Those are steady center numbers, and they came without needing a heavy shot diet, since his usage rate sat at 19.6 percent. Allen's rebounding and scoring lines put him firmly in the starting-center mold for the Cavaliers, a role he is set to keep for the 2026-27 season, which is still to tip off.
Efficiency at the Rim
Allen's efficiency last season stood out. He shot 63.8 percent from the field, 70.9 percent from the free-throw line, and posted a true shooting mark of 66.9 percent. He even connected on 10.0 percent of his 3-point attempts, a small but notable expansion of his range. A plus-minus of plus-3.8 shows Cleveland was better with him on the floor. Those efficiency numbers, all from the 2025-26 season, are the clearest evidence of the value Allen brings as a low-usage, high-impact big man who finishes what he's given.
Health Heading Into 2026-27
Jarrett Allen is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history to note. For a center entering his ninth NBA season, staying off the injury list matters, since durability affects both his minutes and Cleveland's frontcourt rotation. With no setbacks flagged as the 2026-27 season approaches, Allen looks positioned to open the year as the Cavaliers' full-time starting center, the same role he held for 56 games last season.
Background and Physical Profile
Allen is 28 years old, listed at 6-9 and 243 pounds, and wears No. 31 for Cleveland. He played his college basketball at Texas before entering the NBA, and 2026-27 marks his ninth professional season. He remains with the Cavaliers, the same team he played for during the 2025-26 season, giving Cleveland continuity at the center spot. His size and experience make him a fixture in the middle of Cleveland's rotation as the franchise heads into the new campaign.
What to Watch for the Opener
The 2026-27 season has not started yet, so there are no current-season stats, recent games or rumors to report on Jarrett Allen. What is known is the baseline he's building from: a clean bill of health and a 2025-26 season that featured 15.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and top-end shooting efficiency across 56 games. Cavaliers fans watching the opener will be looking for Allen to pick up close to where he left off, both on the glass and in the paint.
