"Full confidence in Dennis. He's a vet. Knows how to run the offense. He led us. Was really important to keep us in the game. - Jarrett Allen on Dennis Schroder's performance in the absence of James Harden."
"I've always felt in my mind that he is a starting point guard in this league. That's the way I've always looked at him. He's done it before. If that is the situation then we are covered with Dennis - if his ankle is OK. - Coach Kenny Atkinson expressing confidence in Schroder as a capable starter."
The Cleveland Cavaliers fell short against the Milwaukee Bucks 118-116 on Wednesday, missing star point guard James Harden due to a non-displaced fracture of his right thumb sustained in the previous game against New York. Harden, acquired in a recent trade from the Clippers, sat out the contest. Dennis Schroder stepped into the starting role and delivered an impressive performance with 26 points, shooting eight of 14 from the field and three of six from three-point range, along with five assists. Though Schroder hit the game-tying shot with 35.6 seconds remaining, the Cavaliers couldn't secure victory. Coach Kenny Atkinson and center Jarrett Allen expressed full confidence in Schroder's ability to handle extended point guard duties if Harden's injury requires prolonged absence.
