  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Good to go Friday

    Porter (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Bucks.

    Porter will return to action Friday after missing Cleveland's most recent outing due to a sprained left ankle. The 24-year-old guard is averaging 2.8 points and 1.4 assists in 9.4 minutes across his last 16 appearances.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Iffy against Milwaukee

    Strus (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Bucks.

    Strus could make his season debut Friday after missing the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign with a right ankle sprain. If Strus is upgraded to available, he will likely operate on a minutes restriction.

  • Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Out at least two weeks

    The Cavaliers announced Thursday that Okoro will miss at least two weeks due to a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Okoro suffered his right shoulder injury against Brooklyn on Monday and will now be sidelined at least until the beginning of 2025. In Okoro's absence, Georges Niang and Dean Wade are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Goes through practice

    Strus (ankle) was a full go at Wednesday's practice, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

    Strus appears to be on track to make his season debut Friday against the Bucks, but his official status won't be known until the Cavaliers release their injury report Thursday afternoon. Strus is someone who fantasy managers need to watch closely for those in need of a boost in three-pointers.

  • Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Misses practice Wednesday

    Okoro (shoulder) was unable to practice Wednesday, Danny Cunningham of Locked on Cavaliers reports.

    Okoro picked up the injury Monday, and while there are not many details, coach Kenny Atkinson called him day-to-day. For now, fantasy managers can consider him questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Perfect from field in win

    Allen scored 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-3 FT) and added eight rebounds, four assists and two steals over 24 minutes in Monday's 130-101 blowout victory over the Nets.

    Allen was one of seven Cavaliers to score in double digits, and has done so in 20 games this season (including four out of his last six contests). Expect him to keep things rolling regarding his offensive production Friday against Milwaukee.

  • Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Drops 12 points in win

    Okoro posted 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, an assist and a steal over 30 minutes in Monday's 130-101 win over the Nets.

    Monday night also marked Okoro's second consecutive contest scoring in double digits, which came after a brief two-game absence. Okoro will look to carry his offensive momentum into Friday's matchup with the Bucks.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Efficient in win

    Garland dropped 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, a steal and a block over 24 minutes in Monday's 130-101 victory over Brooklyn.

    While he attempted a season-low six field-goal attempts and turned the ball over six times, Garland did not need to carry the load for Cleveland, as the Cavs handily put the Nets away in a team effort (seven players scored in double-digits). Garland is averaging 20.3 points, 6.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks across 30.2 minutes, so expect Garland to get back on track production-wise Friday against Milwaukee.

  • Cavaliers' Georges Niang: Just misses double-double Monday

    Niang closed Monday's 130-101 victory over the Nets with 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes off the bench.

    The veteran forward nearly produced his first double-double since April 13, 2021, when he was a member of the Jazz. Niang has been one of the pillars of Cleveland's second unit this season, scoring in double digits in eight of the last 13 games while averaging 10.3 points, 4.7 boards, 1.9 threes and 1.5 assists in 22.9 minutes a contest.

  • Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Drops 19 off bench in win

    LeVert posted 19 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 19 minutes off the bench during Monday's 130-101 victory over Brooklyn.

    The six made three-pointers were a season high for LeVert, who scored in double digits for the sixth time in seven December appearances. The veteran wing dealt with knee trouble to begin the season but appears healthy now, averaging 13.9 points, 4.0 assists, 3.1 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals in 24.9 minutes a game on the month as the Cavs' primary shooting threat on the second unit.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Busy at both ends of court Monday

    Mitchell finished Monday's 130-101 victory over the Nets with 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and four steals over 30 minutes.

    The four steals tied his season high, a mark Mitchell had reached twice before in 2024-25. The 28-year-old guard has seen his offense take a step backward over the last couple of weeks, scoring 20-plus points only three times in seven games to begin December, but he's compensated with some extra production in assists and steals. Over that stretch, Mitchell is averaging 21.4 points, 5.7 assists, 4.7 boards, 4.1 threes and 2.0 steals while shooting 44.6 percent (29-for-65) from beyond the arc.

  • Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Leads Cleveland in victory Monday

    Mobley (ankle) totaled 21 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 130-101 win over the Nets.

    Mobley led the Cavaliers in scoring during his return from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. The big man was extremely efficient in limited playing time during the blowout victory, and he also logged his 11th 20-plus-point outing through 25 regular-season appearances. Mobley recorded his 19th game shooting more than 50.0 percent from the field Monday, and he has averaged a career-high 18.4 points while shooting 56.4 percent from the floor and 41.1 percent from downtown thus far.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Sits out Monday with ankle injury

    Porter was ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Nets due to a left ankle sprain.

    Porter had missed three straight games for Cleveland with an illness, but he proved his health by playing 33 minutes for the G League's Cleveland Charge in a 141-131 win over the Wisconsin Herd on Friday. Though he's now back with the parent club, Porter apparently hurt his ankle at some point during his G League appearance. His availability for the Cavaliers' next game Friday versus the Bucks is seemingly up in the air.

  • Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Retreating to bench

    Wade isn't starting Monday's game against the Nets, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    Wade will shift back to a bench role now that both Isaac Okoro (knee) and Evan Mobley (ankle) have returned to health. The Kansas State product is averaging 3.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his last seven appearances as a reserve.

  • Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Playing Monday against Brooklyn

    Mobley (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Nets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Mobley will return from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, and it doesn't appear that he will be operating under a minutes restriction Monday. Since and including Nov. 1, Mobley has averaged 18.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals over 31.1 minutes.
