Cavaliers center Chris Andersen suffered a non-contact right knee injury today during practice at Cleveland Clinic Courts. After undergoing evaluation at the facility, an MRI administered at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health by team physician Dr. Richard Parker confirmed that Anderson suffered a ACL tear that will require season ending surgery. Anderson’s status and recovery time will be updated following his surgery.
Anderson, who signed as a free agent this summer, appeared in 12 games this season with averages of 2.3 points and 2.6 rebounds.
