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.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Limited again in victory
Porter had three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 victory over the 76ers.
Porter logged 11 minutes in the win, the first time his playing time has exceeded double-digits all season. Having won 13 straight games to begin the campaign, the Cavaliers are unlikely to tinker with their rotation unless absolutely necessary. For that reason, Porter is destined to remain nothing but a depth piece, at least for the foreseeable future.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Plays five minutes in return
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.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Not playing Monday
Porter (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Knicks, per the NBA's injury report.
Porter may have picked up the injury during the Cavaliers' 135-116 win over the Wizards on Saturday. He's played only four minutes off the bench over his last two outings, so the Cavs' rotation won't take a big hit for Monday's contest. Porter's next chance at suiting up will be at home against the Lakers on Wednesday.
