SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -- Doctors in Salt Lake City have diagnosed Cavaliers backup point guard Matthew Dellavedova with a Grade II MCL sprain in his left knee, league sources told Northeast Ohio Media Group.

We have been informed that he could miss up to six weeks. The Cavaliers will get Dellavedova checked out in Cleveland before they release any information.

The sources spoke on the conditions of anonymity due to the team having yet to make an official announcement.

Dellavedova sustained the injury during last night's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

This is a bit of a blow for the team being that he is one of David Blatt's favorite guys. In an overtime win over Chicago last week, Dellavedova closed the game out with the Big Three, a sign how much Blatt trusts his backup point guard.

In three games he is averaging 2.7 points, a rebound and 2.3 assists. The Cavaliers recently signed Will Cherry to be their third point guard. He could very well get some run against Utah.
