This was just put on Yahoo Sports NBA page a couple minutes ago and hadn't seen any talk on here about it. Especially shocked no one had heard about Ben hurting himself over the break.
CLEVELAND (TICKER) —Cleveland Cavaliers forward Ben Wallace received 14 stitches in his right forearm in a freak accident over All-Star Weekend, the team announced Tuesday.
Wallace was injured while playing catch with a football in Richmond, Virginia. Wallace attended college at Virginia Union.
He traveled back to Cleveland Monday and was also treated at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health Tuesday for the removal of additional glass pieces from his arm.
He is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against Toronto.
The Cavaliers also announced guard Sasha Pavlovic, who has been out since February 9 with a sprained right ankle, had his cast removed and will now remain in an aircast walking boot.
Pavlovic will continue to rehab in Cleveland.
In addition, Cleveland updated the status of guard Delonte West, who suffered a fractured right wrist on January 15.
West participated in the majority of Tuesday’s practice. He will travel with the team to Toronto and is listed as doubtful for Wednesday.
