• Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Back to bench Sunday

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters that Tyson will not start Sunday against the Raptors, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports. The rookie first-round pick made the first start of his NBA career Wednesday against the Pelicans, and he finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 37 minutes. He'll retreat to a reserve role Sunday, but his strong performance Wednesday may have earned Tyson a larger role in the Cavaliers' rotation moving forward.

  Tyson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. The Cavaliers are thin in terms of their wing depth and will give the rookie the first start of his career. Tyson will play alongside Ty Jerome, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. The rookie out of California has averaged only 4.3 minutes per game in six outings this season, but he's bound to experience an uptick in his minutes in this contest.

  Tyson (hip) played the final 3:26 of Friday's 136-117 win over the Warriors, missing both of his field-goal attempts and committing a turnover during his time on the court. The rookie first-round pick made his first appearance for the Cavaliers since missing the team's first three games of the month due to a hip injury. Tyson remains firmly outside of head coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation and could be a candidate to head to the G League's Cleveland Charge if playing time remains hard to come by at the NBA level.
