Cavaliers' Darius Brown: Signs with Cleveland
The Cavaliers signed Brown to a contract Thursday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Brown played for the Cleveland Charge in the G League last season. This contract is likely an Exhibit 10 deal with the Cavaliers looking to secure his G League rights once again.

Cavaliers' Lonzo Ball: Quiet in 12 minutes
Ball finished scoreless (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) with one assist in 12 minutes in Tuesday's 118-117 preseason loss to the Bulls.
Ball came off the bench Tuesday with Donovan Mitchell running the point. Ball has said that he's going to be limited to around 20 minutes per night to open the season and that he won't play in both games of back-to-back sets, so his fantasy upside will be held in check even in the absence of Darius Garland (toe).

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Scoreless in start
Tyson finished scoreless (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt) with three assists, one steal and two blocks in 18 minutes of Tuesday's 118-117 preseason loss to Chicago.
The Cavaliers plugged Tyson into the starting lineup with Donovan Mitchell running the point and Lonzo Ball coming off the bench. This could potentially be their lineup for Opening Night with Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, but Tyson will need to step it up if he wants to hold onto this job. During his rookie campaign in 2024-25, Tyson appeared in 47 regular-season contests with averages of 3.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.9 assists.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Plays well in loss
Mobley produced 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 18 minutes of Tuesday's 118-117 preseason loss to the Bulls.
Mobley led the Cavaliers in shot attempts and put together a strong showing on both ends of the court. Additionally, he showcased his improved perimeter shot with a pair of three-pointers. Mobley's upside is well known after the big man produced a second-round fantasy campaign in nine-category leagues during the 2024-25 regular season.

Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Scores 17 points in preseason loss
Hunter tallied 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes in Tuesday's 118-117 preseason loss to the Bulls.
Hunter tied the team-high mark in points in Cleveland's preseason opener. He also led the Cavaliers in rebounds. After being acquired from the Hawks ahead of last season's trade deadline, the 27-year-old forward averaged 14.3 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 42.6 percent from three-point range in 25.1 minutes per game across 27 regular-season appearances (five starts).

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Drops 17 points in preseason loss
Porter (hamstring) posted 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 18 minutes in Tuesday's 118-117 preseason loss to the Bulls.
After missing Cleveland's final four Summer League games due to a hamstring injury, Porter returned to game action in the club's preseason opener. He tied the team-high mark in points and torched the nets from beyond the arc, leading all players in three-pointers made. The 25-year-old guard is expected to provide backcourt depth for Cleveland this season, though he could see increased playing time early on with Darius Garland (toe) likely to miss time to start the season.

Cavaliers' Lonzo Ball: Coming off bench Tuesday
Ball will come off the bench in Tuesday's preseason game against the Bulls, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Despite Darius Garland (toe) and Sam Merrill (undisclosed) being sidelined, Ball will join the second unit in Cleveland's preseason opener against his former team. The 27-year-old point guard is expected to be limited to 20 minutes per contest to begin the regular season and won't appear in both games of back-to-back sets.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Starting in preseason opener
Tyson will start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Bulls, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
With Darius Garland (toe) and Sam Merrill (undisclosed) sidelined, Tyson will get the starting nod in Cleveland's preseason opener. The 22-year-old swingman appeared in 47 regular-season games (three starts) in 2024-25, during which he averaged 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds across 9.6 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Won't play Tuesday
Merrill (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Bulls, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill is dealing with a "minor injury" and won't suit up in Cleveland's preseason opener. His next opportunity to play will come in Thursday's rematch against Chicago. Tyrese Proctor, Luke Travers and Killian Hayes are candidates for increased minutes with Merrill sidelined.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Goes through light workout Tuesday
Garland (toe) went through a light individual workout after Tuesday's shootaround, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
While it's encouraging to see Garland on the floor in some capacity, his activity Tuesday doesn't seem to indicate a significant change in his recovery from offseason toe surgery. The star guard remains likely to miss at least the first handful of games to open the regular season. Lonzo Ball will likely start at point guard for Opening Night, and Cleveland's offense should run through Donovan Mitchell in the early going.

Cavaliers' Lonzo Ball: Expects to see around 20 minutes
Ball said Monday that he's expecting to see about 20 minutes per night to open the season, according to Cavaliers reporter Danny Cunningham.
Additionally, Ball said that playing in both games of back-to-back sets will be "off the table" to begin the season. This makes a lot of sense given Ball's injury history. Ball is expected to start on Opening Night in the absence of Darius Garland (toe), but expectations as far as fantasy impact goes should be tempered.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: Sheds walking boot
Strus (foot) is no longer wearing a walking boot Tuesday but still has a lengthy recovery process ahead, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Strus underwent surgery on his fractured left foot on Aug. 26, with his expected recovery process being three to four months. De'Andre Hunter will likely see more time on the floor with Strus on the mend to start the upcoming 2025-26 season.

Cavaliers' Tristan Enaruna: Added to training camp roster
The Cavaliers signed Enaruna to a training camp contract Friday, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.
Enaruna spent the 2024-25 season with the G League's Maine Celtics, where he played 46 games for the team. The undrafted forward averaged 11 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game at the G League level, shooting 46.7 percent from the floor and 29.6 percent from deep.

Cavaliers' Norchad Omier: Joins Cleveland for training camp
Omier and the Cavaliers have agreed to a training camp deal, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.
The undrafted rookie will likely be trying to land a spot with the G League's Cleveland Charge while participating at Cavaliers camp. Omier was a standout for Nicaragua during this summer's FIBA AmeriCup tournament, averaging 22.3 points, 18.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game over three appearances.

Cavaliers' Miller Kopp: With Cleveland for training camp
Kopp has signed a training camp deal with the Cavaliers, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.
Kopp spent the 2024-25 campaign with the G League's Oklahoma City Blue and will have a chance to make an impression at Cavaliers camp this fall. The forward made 32 G League regular-season appearances last year, averaging 12.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers per game while shooting 44.2 percent from the field.

Cavaliers' Killian Hayes: Set to join Cleveland
Hayes and the Cavaliers agreed to a deal Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
The specifics of the deal have yet to be reported, but this could be an invitation to a training camp. Hayes last spent time with the Nets during the 2024-25 regular season, posting averages of 9.0 points, 5.2 assists and 3.0 rebounds in six appearances. Hayes could be an option to provide depth in the backcourt behind Lonzo Ball with Darius Garland (toe) sidelined to begin the season.

Cavaliers' Lonzo Ball: Cleared for training camp
Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said Tuesday that Ball (wrist) "looked great" at a workout Monday, Danny Cunningham reports.
Ball missed Chicago's final 22 regular-season games due to a sprained right wrist, but he was reportedly good to go for the majority of the offseason. Atkinson raved about Cleveland's decision to trade for Ball this summer, but he said the team will need to have a plan in place to make sure he's healthy for the playoffs. As things currently stand, Ball could be the starting point guard for Opening Night, with Darius Garland (toe) sidelined for the start of the season.

Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Agrees to deal with Cavaliers
Bryant agreed to a one-year, non-guaranteed deal with the Cavaliers on Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Cleveland was in desperate need of some additional depth at center, so it was inevitable that the team would add someone ahead of training camp. Bryant, who will be entering his ninth NBA season, made 56 regular-season appearances for the Pacers in 2024-25 with averages of 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.6 blocks in 15.1 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Remains without timetable
Cleveland president of basketball operations Koby Altman said Tuesday that Garland (toe) remains without a timetable to return to action, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Altman added that Garland is back on the court doing basketball activities, and he'll be starting training camp with limited participation. Garland underwent surgery on his left great toe back in early June, and at the time the Cavaliers announced a 4-to-5 month timetable. It sounds like he will miss the beginning of the season as expected, setting up Donovan Mitchell to soak up a ton of usage early on.
