Cavaliers' Nae'Qwan Tomlin: Strong showing off bench
Rotowire
Tomlin posted 18 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two steals over 22 minutes during Cleveland's 126-113 loss to Toronto on Thursday.
Tomlin was a healthy DNP for nine of the first 11 games of the regular season, but he saw extended playing time Wednesday against the Heat due to the absences of Donovan Mitchell (rest), Evan Mobley (rest), Darius Garland (toe) and Jaylon Tyson (concussion). Even with Mitchell and Mobley returning Thursday, Tomlin still saw meaningful minutes off the bench, and he ended up finishing as the Cavaliers' second-leading scorer behind Donovan Mitchell (31). Tomlin's recent outings could earn him a more consistent role in the Cavaliers' rotation, especially for as long as Tyson is sidelined.
Tomlin totaled nine points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 win over the Heat.
The absence of Donovan Mitchell (rest), Evan Mobley (rest), Darius Garland (toe) and Jaylon Tyson (concussion) allowed Tomlin to triple his previous high in minutes. However, he should return to the fringe of the rotation with Mobley and Mitchell returning to action Thursday.

Cavaliers' Nae'Qwan Tomlin: Paces Cleveland in SL loss
Rotowire
Tomlin racked up 17 points (6-21 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three steals and two assists across 24 minutes in Saturday's 82-71 Summer League loss to the Warriors.
Tomlin finished as Cleveland's leading scorer, though he struggled with efficiency. The 24-year-old also matched the team-high mark in steals. The Memphis product landed a 10-day contract with Cleveland in February and later signed a two-year, two-way contract with the team in March. He averaged 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per game over five regular-season appearances (one start) with the parent club.
Tomlin closed with 18 points (7-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 96-84 Summer League loss to the Kings.
A whopping 10 of Tomlin's boards came on the offensive side of the floor, and he even produced a full stat line Wednesday. The two-way player does give the Cavaliers some additional frontcourt depth, but he figures to spend most of his time in the G League in 2025-26 while Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley and Larry Nance are all healthy.

Tomlin racked up 30 points (12-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes in Thursday's 116-115 Summer League loss to the Pacers.
Tomlin led all scorers in Thursday's game with an efficient 30 points, going a perfect 12-for-12 on two-point attempts. He saw limited action as a rookie during the 2024-25 regular season, appearing in just five games for the Cavaliers, but made the most of his lone start April 13 against the Pacers, posting 24 points and 12 rebounds in 47 minutes.
Tomlin fouled out of Sunday's 126-118 double-overtime loss to the Pacers after recording 24 points (8-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in 47 minutes.
Making just the fifth appearance of his rookie campaign, Tomlin set multiple career highs with the Cavaliers sitting most of their top rotational players.
