INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Cavaliers starting guard Sasha Pavlovic could miss up to six weeks with a sprained right ankle, another injury setback for a team which had won all 23 of its home games until Sunday.
Pavlovic sustained a high ankle sprain at the end of the first quarter Sunday in Cleveland’s 101-91 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, with NBA’s best record at 41-9.
An MRI taken Monday revealed the extent of the injury. The Cavaliers estimated Pavlovic will be out for a minimum of four weeks and possibly six.
The 6-foot-7 Pavlovic is averaging 4.9 points and 16 minutes per game for the Cavs. He was starting for injured guard Delonte West, who has been out since early January with a broken right wrist.
