According to Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson, Tyson (ankle) has been "on the court lately progressing well," Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Tyson didn't play in Wednesday's meeting with the Thunder, marking his third consecutive absence. Atkinson added that the 23-year-old's layoff "isn't going to be a long-term thing," so it appears the door is open for a return Friday against Philadelphia. For now, Tyson should be considered day-to-day.

Poole (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Utah.

Poole was initially listed as probable due to left ankle tendinopathy, but he's since been cleared to play Wednesday. The veteran guard is averaging 6.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 16.0 minutes per contest across four regular-season games.

James won't start Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Kon Knueppel will make his season debut, pushing James to the bench. The 23-year-old is averaging 4.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 24.5 minutes per contest through eight regular-season outings, though he's likely to see fewer minutes with Knueppel back in the lineup.

Bamba (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game in New Orleans.

Bamba will push through the pain with the ankle issue and make himself available for Wednesday's game. He's averaging 9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per contest this season.

Zubac (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Alex Golden of SI.com reports.

Zubac will return Wednesday after missing the last five regular-season games due to an ankle injury. While Zubac may see fewer minutes in his first game back from the layoff, his presence will likely result in Jay Huff retreating to the bench.

Head coach Ime Udoka said Wednesday that Adams (calf) is still without a timetable to return and will be evaluated on a "weekly basis," Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Adams hasn't played since Oct. 23 due to a right soleus strain and remains without a definitive timetable to return. Oscar Tshiebwe figures to see increased burn until Capela (ankle) or Adams returns.

Jones (ankle) won't play Wednesday in Boston.

Jones will miss his first game of the season due to injury, and for now, he should be viewed as questionable for Friday's meeting with the Raptors. Jones is not a rotation player for the Bucks.

Post (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Post has been cleared to return from a two-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The big man is averaging 7.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 15.2 minutes per game through five regular-season appearances.

Scheierman is not listed in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.

Scheierman started in Monday's 109-93 loss to the Rockets, finishing with a season-high 11 points. He will head back to the bench for the meeting with Milwaukee. However, with Jayson Tatum (rest) ruled out, Scheierman should remain involved.

Hauser will start Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

With Jayson Tatum (rest) sidelined, Hauser will get the starting nod for the first time this season. He's averaging 7.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20.0 minutes per game over seven regular-season appearances.
