CLEVELAND - Anderson Varejaos season has ended, dealing a major blow to the Cavaliers NBA title hopes.Clevelands starting centre tore his left Achilles tendon on Tuesday night in a win over Minnesota, an injury that will cost him the rest of this season and will force the Cavs to look for immediate help up front. The Cavs said an MRI confirmed the feared tear and that Varejao will undergo surgery in the near future. A timetable for his return and rehab will not be established until after the operation.The 6-foot-11 Varejao, one of the teams most popular players, was positioning under the basket for a rebound in the third quarter when he crumpled to the floor in pain. All of Clevelands players and coaches came over to check on him before he was assisted off the floor without putting any weight on his leg. He left Quicken Loans Arena following the game on crutches with his leg in an immobilizing air cast.The Cavs travelled to Miami on Wednesday for a Christmas Day game against the Heat, the first regular-season matchup between LeBron James and the superstars former team.Varejaos injury has stolen some of the buzz from that game as the Cavs are dealing with an injury that could alter their season.With Varejao out, Tristan Thompson will likely move into a starting role and the Cavs will sharpen their pursuit of another big man. The Cavs had been looking for a rim-protecting centre and have had trade discussions with several teams. Reserves Brendan Haywood and Lou Amundson could also get more playing time as first-year coach David Blatt looks for ways to compensate for the loss of Varejao, one of the leagues most unique players.Favoured to win the Eastern Conference, the Cavs have made inquiries about Denvers Timofey Mozgov and Memphis centre Kosta Koufos. Cleveland has a protected first-round pick from a previous deal with the Grizzlies they could use to land front-line help.Varejao, who signed a three-year, $30 million contract extension in October, averaged 9.8 points and 6.5 rebounds in 26 starts. But beyond his stats, Varejao also contributes with his endless hustle and positive attitude.

He has missed 166 games with injuries over the past four seasons.During the preseason, the Cavs went to Varejaos native Brazil to play an exhibition against the Heat. Varejao was greeted as a national hero in his homeland and said the trip was one of the highlights of his career.After a slow start, the Cavs have won 12 of 15 games and Blatt has gotten more comfortable with his rotations.
