Dellavedova looks back on Finals hospitalisation
A few rooms away, the Cavs' medical team was aggressively rubbing ice all over Dellavedova's body as team doctors installed an IV into his arm as they tried to pull him out of what had turned into almost a full-body cramp.Full story
"First my quads both cramped. Then my hammies. Then my adductors. I couldn't move off the training table," Dellavedova said as he recently recalled the moments after the Cavs' Game 3 victory over the Golden State Warriors last spring. "I was stuck on the table. I had the IV in and I was still cramping. They helped me to the cold tub and I just collapsed in it for 20 minutes."
The Australian guard's performance during the Cavs' playoff run was inspirational at times. It peaked during Game 3 of the Finals when he scored 20 points to help the Cavs take a 2-1 series lead. He hit the floor nearly a dozen times during that game, chasing loose balls and creating havoc over 39 minutes that ultimately overtaxed him.
