Anderson Varejao out for year

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for the Cavaliers, the team announced Sunday that center Anderson Varejao will miss the rest of the season with a torn peroneus longus tendon in his right foot that will require surgery. "It's devastating," said Mo Williams. "Obviously he's a big part of what we do offensively and especially defensively. It's a tough one to swallow. It's hard." Coach Byron Scott said he had not talked to Varejao, their defensive anchor who was averaging 9.1 points and 9.7 rebounds this season. "When I heard the news, I'm not going to say I didn't buckle," Scott said before Sunday night's game against the Suns in USAirways Center.
