Anderson varejao torn Achilles

[Morethan1]

Tests confirmed the Cleveland Cavaliers' fears that center Anderson Varejao has torn his Achilles tendon and will miss the remainder of the season, the team announced Wednesday.

The Cavs said that an MRI showed the tear and that Varejao will undergo surgery "in the near future." A timetable for his return and rehab will not be established until after the operation.

Varejao landed awkwardly in the third quarter of Tuesday's 125-104 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves and left the floor without being able to put weight on his left leg. He left Quicken Loans Arena after the game on crutches with his leg in an immobilizing air cast.

He was the only one defending the first 10 games or so

They just gave him an extension too, if he's done for the season they're going to have to trade that first rounder that they've been unwilling to offer. All they had behind Thompson was Haywood and Alex Kirk, neither of those guys can give you 20mpg.

They need to trade for Bismack Biyombo.
