Varejao’s foot injury deemed minor

Relax, Cavaliers fans. Anderson Varejao is not seriously hurt.

The Associated Press reported that Brazil lost Varejao with a foot
injury during its 86-74 loss to France on Tuesday in the Stankovic Cup
in Kunshan, China.

But Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry said the injury was not
serious.

“He is doing fine, just resting,” Ferry said Tuesday.

Varejao, the Cavs’ energetic, 6-10, 240-pound power forward, missed
training camp and the beginning of last season after surgery to repair
the dislocated right shoulder he suffered while playing for Brazil in
the FIBA Americas men’s world championship qualifying tournament in
the Dominican Republic last summer.

He came back to average 4.6 points and 4.9 rebounds in 48
regular-season games last season and 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in
the playoffs.

Asked whether he wasn’t worried about injuries to Varejao or LeBron
James, who is playing for Team USA, Ferry said, “Injuries are a part
of the game. Guys work out all summer. There is always concern.”

Ferry and Cavaliers coach Mike Brown will be going to Japan next week
to watch the World Championships.
