Porter (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.

Porter will miss a second straight game due to a left groin strain. In his absence, Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder could see a slight uptick in minutes. Porter's next chance to play will come Thursday against Chicago.

Tyson (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

Tyson is expected to keep his absence with an ankle injury to a one-game minimum. Whether or not he's able to draw a start Tuesday is likely contingent upon the status of Sam Merrill, who's questionable to play with a hamstring problem.

Proctor (quadriceps) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

Proctor continues to miss time while dealing with a right quadriceps strain. His next opportunity to return will arrive Thursday in Chicago.

Merrill (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

Merrill is in danger of missing a third consecutive matchup while battling left hamstring soreness. However, the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is a sign he may be nearing a return. Expect another update from the Cavs closer to tipoff.

Sexton (leg) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Sexton will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game due to a left lower-leg injury, which should lead to an uptick in minutes and usage for Rob Dillingham off the bench. Sexton's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Raptors.

Adebayo is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to right calf tightness.

The star big man is in jeopardy of sitting out for the first time since the Dec. 27 win over the Pacers. Kel'el Ware would likely handle a featured role at center if Adebayo cannot play Tuesday, which would open the door for a more pronounced role for Jaime Jaquez in the frontcourt.

Allen (knee) won't play Tuesday against the Bucks, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

Allen will miss his sixth consecutive matchup while nursing a right knee injury. His next chance to run the floor will arrive Thursday in Chicago, though the team has failed to indicate that the big man is nearing a return.

Williams (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Williams will sit out the second half of his team's back-to-back after logging 20 minutes Sunday in Philly. His next chance to take the floor will arrive Wednesday against the Pacers. Sidy Cissoko should benefit from Williams' absence Monday.

Krejci (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Krejci will miss his first game since being traded to the Trail Blazers due to a left calf contusion. The guard has scored in double figures just once since the calendar flipped to March, averaging 5.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 19.0 minutes per contest across seven games this month. Krejci's absence could lead to a slight uptick in minutes for Sidy Cissoko or other reserves such as Kris Murray and Blake Wesley.

Green (back) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Green was previously tagged as probable and will suit up as expected after missing the previous two contests due to lingering lower-back soreness. Through five March appearances, the veteran is averaging 9.6 points, 6.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from beyond the arc.
