According to Kendra Andrews of ESPN, the big man is suffering a rib injury and will not be able to assist his team in the do-or-die game.

In what has been a highly competitive series, both teams are determined to survive into the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The Magic have not been able to pass the first round of the playoffs since the 2009-10 season, while the Cavaliers have not had the privilege since the 2018-18 season.

Allen's absence will have crucial implications for the outcome of tonight's game. The center averaged 17 points (67.6% FG), 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1 block per game in the first 6 games.
