CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James won't be the only familiar face missing from Cavaliers broadcasts when the season tips off.

Allie Clifton, who has been the Cavs sideline reporter for Fox Sports Ohio for the last six seasons, has left the network. According to a source, she is following James to Los Angeles to cover the Lakers. Sam Amico of Amico Hoops reports Clifton will serve as the studio host for Lakers games on the team's cable home, Spectrum SportsNet.

"We can confirm Allie Clifton is no longer with Fox Sports Ohio as the Cavaliers sideline reporter," Fox Sports Ohio said in an email this week. "While we are sad to see her go, we appreciate her contributions to our Cavs broadcasts and wish her the best in her future endeavors."

The former University of Toledo basketball standout joined Fox Sports Ohio in 2012 during the Cavs' dark days following James' first departure. Clifton was a constant presence on the sidelines, conducting interviews, providing analysis and breaking news from her courtside position. In March, she filled in for analyst Austin Carr alongside play-by-play announcer Fred McLeod during a game against the Phoenix Suns.

Since 2017, Clifton has been the host of "Road Trippin'," the popular podcast with Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye on Uninterrupted, the multimedia platform for athletes founded by James.
