Top Cavaliers News

  • Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Questionable for Sunday

    Tyson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a neck strain.

    The neck injury is a new concern for Tyson, who is in jeopardy of missing his first game since Nov. 19. If the second-year forward is cleared to suit up, he would likely remain in the starting five due to Jarrett Allen (knee) being sidelined. Tyson has averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 34.0 minutes per game in his last four outings (all starts).

  • Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Nursing quad strain

    Proctor has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Boston due to a right quadriceps strain.

    It's unclear when Proctor picked up the injury, given that he was a healthy DNP for Tuesday's game against the Pistons. The rookie second-rounder has seen inconsistent playing time off the Cavaliers' bench this season, but his absence will result in more minutes being available for Keon Ellis and Craig Porter.

  • Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Probable for Sunday

    Wade (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against Boston.

    Wade was able to practice Friday and is trending towards a return after three games on the shelf. With Jarrett Allen (knee) sidelined, the Cavaliers may need Wade to soak up a handful of minutes in the frontcourt.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Not playing Sunday

    Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

    Allen injured his right knee during the Cavaliers' win over the Pistons on Tuesday. The injury will sideline the veteran center for Sunday's contest, but he could return for the second leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set against the 76ers on Sunday. Thomas Bryant figures to be the top candidate to enter Cleveland's starting lineup in Allen's absence.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Probable for Sunday

    Mitchell (groin) is probable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

    After missing the past four games for Cleveland, Mitchell is trending towards a return to action. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so it will be interesting to see how the Cavaliers handle his minutes.

  • Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Practices Friday

    Wade (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Wade has sat out the past three games for the Cavs, but with him getting in a full practice Friday, there's a chance he will get back out there for either Sunday's game versus Boston or Monday's matchup with the 76ers. If he is cleared to return, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Larry Nance's minutes could dip.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Practices in full Friday

    Mitchell (groin) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Mitchell has missed the past four games for the Cavs, but getting through a full practice Friday suggests he's on the cusp of a return. However, Cleveland's next two games come as a Sunday-Monday back-to-back set, so it's unlikely that Mitchell will be available for both of those games. Check back for another update closer to Sunday's tip.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Doesn't practice Friday

    Allen (knee) did not practice Friday, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Allen injured his right knee midway through the third quarter of Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons and didn't return. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but the Cavaliers don't play until Sunday which helps his case.

  • Cavaliers' Nae'Qwan Tomlin: Left out of rotation

    Tomlin (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Tuesday in the Cavaliers' 113-109 win over the Pistons.

    After appearing in each of the last six games and averaging 9.2 minutes per game, Tomlin was ousted from the rotation while head coach Kenny Atkinson went with Thomas Bryant as the team's top big man off the bench and made use of Jaylon Tyson and Keon Ellis as undersized options at power forward. The Cavaliers could have a need for an extra big man in the event Jarrett Allen (knee) -- who exited Tuesday's game early -- isn't available Sunday against the Celtics, but Tomlin could be passed over for a spot in the rotation if Dean Wade (ankle) is cleared to return from a three-game absence.

  • Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Could benefit if Allen misses time

    Bryant amassed nine points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 victory over Detroit.

    Bryant has come off the bench in each of his 45 appearances this season and is averaging 10.8 minutes per game. He put together respectable numbers Tuesday and came through with his first outing with multiple three-pointers since Feb. 7. The veteran center could be called upon to take on a larger role after Jarrett Allen left in the third quarter due to a right knee injury, though Allen will have some extra time to recover before the Cavaliers' next game Sunday versus the Celtics.

  • Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Team-high 22 points in win

    Tyson had 22 points (8-15 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons.

    With Donovan Mitchell missing a fourth consecutive game due to a groin injury, Tyson stepped up with a team-high 22 points while connecting on five triples, his most in a game since Jan. 16 against the 76ers (seven). The second-year pro has done an admirable job in stepping into a larger role following his rookie season, when he averaged just 9.6 minutes per game while serving in a bench role. Tyson has averaged 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steals over 32.5 minutes per game over his last five outings.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Leaves early with knee injury

    Allen (knee) exited with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons and didn't return. He finished with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes.

    Allen injured his right knee midway through the third quarter and was listed as doubtful to return. The severity of the injury won't be known until Allen is further evaluated, though the big man will have until Sunday's game against the Celtics to recover. If he's forced to miss time, Evan Mobley would likely slide over to center, and backup big man Thomas Bryant could see a bump in minutes.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Doubtful to return Tuesday

    Allen is doubtful to return to Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a right knee injury, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Allen checked out of Tuesday's contest with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter and is unlikely to return. If the big man is unable to check back in, Thomas Bryant will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

  • Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Ruled out Tuesday

    Wade is out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons with a sprained right ankle.

    The 29-year-old forward will be looking to end a three-game absence Sunday, when the Cavaliers face the Celtics. Wade's absence Tuesday should keep Jaylon Tyson in the starting lineup at small forward, making the latter an appealing streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

  • Cavaliers' Olivier Sarr: Links up with Cleveland

    Sarr agreed to a two-way contract with the Cavaliers on Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    Sarr will aim to provide depth for the Cavs at center, though he'll likely see the majority of his opportunities in the G League, barring an injury to Jarrett Allen, Thomas Bryant or Evan Mobley. Sarr made 38 appearances for the G League's Raptors 905 this season, during which he averaged 11.5 points on 50.5 percent shooting from the field, 7.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in 24.0 minutes per game.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Ready for on-court activity

    Strus (foot) has been cleared for on-court workouts, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com.

    It's an important step forward for Strus, who's set to begin practicing soon as he recovers from offseason foot surgery. That said, the swingman remains without a definitive timeline for his season debut and figures to miss at least another week of play. Until Strus is finally cleared for game action, both Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill should remain worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy formats.
