Matthew Dellavedova has been making headlines throughout these NBA Finals for his completely out-of-nowhere amazing performance. He fought so hard in Game 3 that he was hospitalized and given IV fluid for severe cramping. Fortunately, he'll return to Game 4 tonight. Unfortunately, he won't have his secret weapon with him: a cup of coffee.

Delly has a pregame cup of coffee (and sometimes a mid-game cup of coffee) to amp himself up. But to ensure he isn’t beset by cramps tonight, he’s skipping his caffeine fix:
Heard this week that Dellavedova is a "huge" coffee drinker before/during games. After cramps, he says he’s knocking that habit for now.
— Baxter Holmes (@BaxterHolmes) June 11, 2015 Matthew Dellavedova says he's feeling fully recovered from dehydration - will cut out his usual pregame cup of black coffee tonight, though.
— Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) June 11, 2015 Don’t worry, Delly. There’s a pumpkin spice latte at the end of the tunnel.
