The Cleveland Cavaliers lost in their Friday night game against Los Angeles Clippers 116-112 on the road but that was perhaps the least of their problems.
They have already been fighting through difficulties regarding their rotation because of Kevin Love’s absence (broken left hand) and now they have to add two more to the list. Rodney Hood strained his back seven minutes in the game while Cedi Osman strained the left hip later in the third period. Osman managed to score three points and add a steal before leaving the game.
“I tried to run and then I heard a pop from my groin, I felt pain and I couldn’t run. Right now, when I’m walking and when I try to lift my leg up, I feel pain,” Osman said to ESPN.
The Turkish player was also experiencing some problems with the left hip on Monday against Detroit Pistons but played through it and got some medical treatment up to the last game. He is recovering but is unsure if he will be able to play on Sunday against Los Angeles Lakers.
