Proctor is not listed in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the 76ers, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Proctor started in Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Thunder. While Peyton Watson (hamstring) will be needed at the four spot, Proctor will still head back to the bench. Instead, head coach Kenny Atkinson will deploy Sam Merrill at the three to begin the meeting with Philadelphia.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Cleared to play Friday
Rotowire
Proctor (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Philadelphia.
Proctor was listed as questionable for this contest, though he will avoid his second absence of the 2026-27 campaign. He started in Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Thunder, ending with a season-high 11 points. While Proctor may head back to the bench for the meeting with the 76ers if Peyton Watson (hamstring) is available, he should still get more minutes than most off the bench.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Proctor (ankle) is questionable to play in Friday's game against the 76ers.
Proctor sprained his left ankle in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Thunder and did not return. The 22-year-old is one of several Cavaliers currently dealing with an injury, as Jaylon Tyson (ankle), Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (knee) are all banged up. Proctor's next chance to play would come Saturday against the Knicks on the second leg of Cleveland's back-to-back set.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Exits Wednesday's loss early
Rotowire
Proctor exited Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Thunder in the fourth quarter and did not return due to an apparent ankle injury, finishing with 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal across 22 minutes.
Proctor got the starting nod for the first time this season and for just the second time in his career. He turned in a respectable performance on the offensive end but exited to the locker room late in the fourth quarter. The second-year guard can be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Sixers until Cleveland provides an update on his status. If Proctor needs to miss time, Meleek Thomas and Craig Porter could see increased burn.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Exits to locker room
Rotowire
Proctor exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to an apparent ankle injury, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Proctor appears unlikely to return in the final minutes of this contest after exiting to the locker room with 3:23 remaining in the fourth quarter. If he's forced to miss time, Meleek Thomas and Craig Porter would be candidates to see increased burn.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Starting against Thunder
Rotowire
Proctor will start in Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
With Peyton Watson (hamstring) ruled out, Proctor will make his first start of the 2026-27 campaign. The 2025 No. 49 overall pick has averaged 5.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 13.0 minutes per contest in six regular-season games.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Limited to five minutes
Rotowire
Proctor contributed zero points (0-1 FG) in five minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the 76ers.
Proctor saw minimal action off Cleveland's bench, missing his lone field-goal attempt and failing to register another counting statistic. With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell commanding the bulk of the backcourt minutes, the second-year guard faces limited opportunities for consistent fantasy production.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Sees limited run
Rotowire
Proctor finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in eight minutes during Sunday's 119-105 preseason win over Orlando.
Proctor saw limited action for the second consecutive preseason contest, suggesting he remains on the outside looking in for a regular rotation spot. With Cleveland featuring several established backcourt options, the young guard appears unlikely to command meaningful fantasy value without injuries opening additional opportunities.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Rare appearance in loss
Rotowire
Proctor totaled two points (2-2 FT) in three minutes during Thursday's 126-104 loss to the Raptors in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Proctor was back in the rotation, albeit during garbage-time only. Despite a couple of bright spots throughout his rookie season, Proctor has been mostly a non-factor. Given that he failed to leave the bench during the first two games in the series, Proctor is unlikely to feature heavily moving forward.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: First career double-double
Rotowire
Proctor notched 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 130-117 win over the Wizards.
With Cleveland sitting basically its entire starting five, Proctor moved into a sizeable role, recording the first double-double of his young career. However, while this was a strong performance, it is unlikely we will see much of him during the playoffs, given that he has appeared in only 50 games thus far.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Sniffs triple-double in win
Rotowire
Proctor posted 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 35 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 130-117 win over the Wizards.
With Cleveland sitting several key contributors in Sunday's regular-season finale, Proctor made the most of his career-high 35 minutes. The rookie second-rounder turned in an efficient performance and finished as Cleveland's second-leading scorer with a career-best 22 points. The Duke product also supplied team- and career-high marks in both rebounds and assists en route to his first career double-double.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Chips in 10 points off bench
Rotowire
Proctor registered 10 points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies.
Proctor saw his largest workload since returning from a quadriceps strain in March, though that likely had more to do with the lopsided score Monday. The guard has averaged 5.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 10.4 minutes per tilt in his last six games.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Scoreless in six minutes
Rotowire
Proctor racked up zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and two steals across six minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 loss to the Heat.
Proctor had missed eight straight games from March 8 through March 21 due to a right quadriceps strain, but he was cleared to play in advance of Tuesday's 136-131 win over the Magic. He wasn't used in that contest, but the Cavaliers were able to open up a small role in the rotation for Proctor on Wednesday while Jarrett Allen (knee), Craig Porter (groin), Max Strus (foot), Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) were sidelined. The Cavaliers should get at least one of those players back for Friday's game against the Heat, so Proctor will likely be in danger of falling back outside of the rotation.

Proctor will be available off the bench for the first time since Feb. 27, though it remains to be seen if he'll be called upon given his current place in the rotation. He's averaging 4.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 10.4 minutes over 42 games so far this season.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Nursing quad strain
Rotowire
Proctor has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Boston due to a right quadriceps strain.
It's unclear when Proctor picked up the injury, given that he was a healthy DNP for Tuesday's game against the Pistons. The rookie second-rounder has seen inconsistent playing time off the Cavaliers' bench this season, but his absence will result in more minutes being available for Keon Ellis and Craig Porter.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Available Monday
Rotowire
Proctor (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Proctor was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness but will suit up Monday. Despite being available, the Duke product isn't a staple of the Cavaliers' rotation and isn't guaranteed significant playing time against the Nuggets.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Proctor is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Bulls.
Proctor is getting the first start of his career with Donovan Mitchell (illness) out, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Darius Garland, Jaylon Tyson, Dean Wade and Jarrett Allen. Proctor could be viewed as a low-end streamer in deep leagues for those seeking some points and triples.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Out for Saturday
Rotowire
Proctor (personal) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Warriors.
Proctor will miss his second straight game due to personal reasons Saturday, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Wizards. The rookie is not a large enough part of the rotation in Cleveland for his absence from the active roster to impact fantasy leagues.
