The first legally deaf player in the NBA has been released. The Cleveland Cavaliers let go Center Lance Allred go after he played less than five minutes in the Cav’s 104-84 exhibition loss to Toronto. During the exhibition season, he played in just three games and averaged only one point. While he may consider a return to the NBA later, Allred says he'll stay busy writing a book about his disability.
