Proctor produced 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one steal and three turnovers in 28 minutes of Sunday's 138-107 preseason loss to Boston.
Proctor drew the start Sunday with the Cavaliers sitting several key players. The No. 49 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Proctor was dominant in the Summer League and has carried that momentum over into the preseason. He's making a strong case to be considered in the rotation for Opening Night, but he still has a lot of work to do.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Erupts for 35 points in SL loss
Rotowire
Proctor racked up 35 points (11-24 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 9-9), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 94-86 Summer League loss to the Kings.
Proctor put on a show, lighting up the scoreboard with a game-high 35 points. He also dished out a team-high four assists in a losing effort during this Las Vegas Summer League game.
Proctor was selected by the Cavaliers with the No. 49 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Proctor's counting stats -- 12.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 38 games -- weren't eye-popping, but his efficiency (45.2 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from three) and leadership made him a key glue guy for Duke. Though he's undersized and lacks top-tier athleticism, Proctor's shooting ability gives him a clear path to carving out a role at the next level.
