| Cavs forward Anderson Varejao left Wednesday’s game against Atlanta in the fourth quarter with a bruised left knee and sprained left Achilles, but escaped what could have been more serious injuries after getting tangled up with Al Horford. The Akron Beacon-Journal reported that Varejao went through a battery of tests on his knee, which turned out to be fine save for a bruise. His Achilles is cause for more concern and he will have an MRI done on Thursday. But Varejao left the arena without the aid of crutches and is listed as day-to-day. |

"The medical team feels he's going to make a full recovery," team president Andy Roeser told the AP. "There's a pretty good chance he’ll be on the court before the end of the season.” Livingston will spend the next month or so building strength in his knee and will be re-evaluated in February. |

| Raptors guard T.J. Ford was cleared to resume workouts on Wednesday after seeing a spine specialist in Cleveland, the AP reported.
