Out two weeks
Marion is out at least two weeks due to a strained left hip. Marion has been experiencing discomfort in the hip ever since Cleveland’s five-game West Coast road trip last month. Coach David Blatt:
I knew before Shawn wasn’t feeling great and that’s the reason he wasn’t playing, because he wasn’t healthy. So we really wanted to give him a chance to get through this problem as we have done on several occasions this year with other players. And I think it’s good. It’s good that he’ll take this time to rest and rehabilitate and get the treatment that he needs and to come back when he’s fully ready to play.
