Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Dishes four assists in loss
Porter chipped in seven points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 125-105 loss to Boston.
Porter and Lonzo Ball are splitting minutes as the team's backup facilitators behind Donovan Mitchell while Darius Garland (toe) remains out. While Porter played two fewer minutes than Ball, it is worth noting that he outscored him. However, regardless of their performances Wednesday, it appears Ball and Porter will continue to split time relatively evenly until Garland returns from injury.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Racks up three steals
Porter amassed four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals across 24 minutes during Monday's 116-95 win over the Pistons.
Porter didn't add much as a scorer in Monday's victory, but he contributed on the glass and on the defensive end in what was his heaviest workload of the young season. It's worth noting that Sam Merrill exited with a hip injury and didn't return, so this certainly contributed to an uptick in playing time, especially with both Darius Garland (toe) and Lonzo Ball (rest) also ruled out. Porter has now recorded three steals in back-to-back games for the Cavs.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Tacks on double figures
Porter closed with 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 14 minutes during Friday's 131-124 win over the Nets.
Porter saw his workload double from Wednesday's 119-111 loss to the Knicks, and he took full advantage. He didn't miss a shot while on the court, while also managing to contribute across the board. Porter isn't currently in a place in the rotation to guarantee regular minutes, but he could see more opportunities in the short term until Darius Garland (toe), Max Strus (foot) and De'Andre Hunter (knee) return to health.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: With second unit Tuesday
Porter will come off the bench in Tuesday's preseason finale against the Pistons.

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.

Porter initially suffered a left hamstring injury in last Thursday's contest against the Pacers, and he's yet to appear in the Summer League since then.

Porter will not return to Thursday's Summer League game against the Pacers due to a left hamstring injury, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The severity of the issue isn't yet known, but his next opportunity to return to the court arrives Saturday against the Bucks.

Darius Brown and Jaxson Robinson are candidates for a boost in playing time while Porter is out.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Scores 16 points off bench
Porter contributed 16 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.
Porter made the most of his minutes off the bench and was one of the five Cleveland players who scored in double digits in this game. The fact that Porter didn't start in a game where the Cavaliers rested most of their starters suggests he'll remain rooted to a bench role in the playoffs.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Iffy for Sunday
Porter is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to an illness.
Porter has seen sparse playing time off the bench, so his potential absence Sunday wouldn't affect the Cleveland backcourt rotation all that much. He played nine minutes in the Cavaliers' most recent game Thursday, finishing with two points and one assist in nine minutes in a 137-115 win over the Hawks.
