Ben Wallace Out For Playoffs?

Big Ben has a knee strain, which could put his playoff run in doubt.

Wallace left Sunday's game against Boston in the second quarter with what the team said was a bruise. An MRI taken at the Cleveland Clinic on Monday revealed a patellar tendon strain. Wallace will not play in Monday's game at Indiana and is listed as doubtful for the regular-season finale on Wednesday against Philadelphia.

The Cavs have overcome injuries this season (although none to anyone nearly as important to them as KG is to us)… so I find it hard to believe that his put anything in any jeopardy for them.  However, SHOULD KG be out again… and SHOULD the Celtics have Leon and Big Baby at full strength… then losing a big interior body could hurt the Cavs in a potential ECF matchup.
