Tyson produced 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three turnovers across 28 minutes of Sunday's 138-107 preseason loss to Boston.
The Cavaliers rested multiple players Sunday, including Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Tyson was ice cold in his previous two exhibitions, shooting a combined 2-of-12 from the field, but he took advantage of some extra usage in this one. With the Cavaliers expected to be shorthanded to open the season, Tyson is likely to be in the rotation on Opening Night.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Scoreless in start
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
Tyson will start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Bulls, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Rotowire
Tyson (rest) didn't play in Wednesday's 94-86 Summer League loss to the Kings.
Tyson doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury, as it's possible that the Cavaliers are simply monitoring his workload. Although the 2024 first-rounder hasn't officially been shut down for the rest of the Summer League, it wouldn't be shocking if Tyson didn't suit up again for maintenance purposes.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Notches 18 points in SL win
Rotowire
Tyson supplied 18 points (3-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 31 minutes in Saturday's 93-83 Summer League win over the Bucks.
Tyson was inefficient from the field Saturday, but still finished as one of four Cavaliers players to score double-digit points in the win. The 22-year-old swingman saw fairly inconsistent playing time with Cleveland in 2024-25 and will look to carve out a more significant role with Isaac Okoro and Ty Jerome no longer on the roster. Over 47 regular-season appearances (three starts) last season, Tyson averaged 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per contest.

Tyson showcased his playmaking skills Thursday, dishing out a game-high 12 assists.

Tyson suited up for just the fourth time this postseason, playing an increased role as the Cavaliers slumped to an embarrassing loss. This game was over at halftime after Indiana posted an incredible 80 points in 24 minutes. Cleveland will need to turn things around in Game 5, now having to secure three straight victories to advance to the Conference Finals.

Tyson made his third start of the season Sunday with the Cavaliers resting their top rotational players. Tyson has been used sparingly by the Cavaliers this season, with an average of 9.6 minutes across 47 appearances. Still, he made the most of his extended run Sunday with multiple career highs.
