Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Season-best numbers in loss
Porter ended with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-117 loss to the Celtics.The second-year guard saw his largest workload of the season due to injuries to Max Strus (ankle), Caris LeVert (knee) and Isaac Okoro (ankle), and Porter responded with his highest scoring output so far in 2024-25. The Wichita State product could continue to see an increased role in the short term, but LeVert's return in particular will likely bump Porter back to the end of the bench.

Porter (thumb) logged two assists and one rebound in five minutes off the bench in Saturday's 114-113 win over the Bucks.Porter had missed the previous three games with a right thumb sprain before he returned to action Saturday in the second leg of the back-to-back set. Prior to suffering the injury, Porter hadn't been part of the rotation, but head coach Kenny Atkinson turned the reserve guard loose for five minutes in the second quarter Saturday, and he performed well during his time on the court. However, if Caris LeVert (knee) is back in action for Monday's rematch with the Bucks, Porter is likely to fall back out of the rotation.
