Top Cavaliers News

  • Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Remaining out vs. Atlanta

    Merrill (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Merrill will miss his third consecutive contest due to a right hip contusion. The sharpshooter's next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against the 76ers. With Merrill sidelined, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Ruled out Sunday

    Allen (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Allen will miss a second consecutive game while recovering from a fractured finger on his left hand. In his absence, expect Evan Mobley to see more action at center, with Dean Wade, Larry Nance and Thomas Bryant being candidates to see increased opportunities Sunday.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Good to go Sunday

    Mitchell (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game against the Hawks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Mitchell missed Friday's loss to the Raptors due to left hamstring tightness, but he will shed his questionable tag and return to action against Atlanta. The star guard has had a strong start to the season, averaging 28.0 points, 4.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 54.4 percent from the field through five regular-season outings.

  • Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Questionable for Sunday

    Merrill (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

    Merrill is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive game due to a right hip contusion, and he's likely to be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's tipoff at 6:00 p.m. ET. If the sharpshooter is ultimately ruled out, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter are candidates for increased playing time.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Iffy for Sunday

    Allen (finger) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

    Allen is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game due to a fractured finger on his left hand. The big man will likely be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's tipoff at 6:00 p.m. ET. If Allen is unable to play, Dean Wade, Larry Nance and Thomas Bryant are candidates for increased minutes.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Remaining out vs. Atlanta

    Garland (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

    Garland has yet to suit up this season as he recovers from left toe surgery he underwent in June. However, the star guard was assigned to the G League earlier this week to get extra reps in during practice, suggesting he may be nearing a return to game action. Still, he can be considered doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against Philadelphia until the Cavaliers provide another update on his status.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Questionable to face Atlanta

    Mitchell (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

    Mitchell is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game due to a left hamstring issue and is likely to be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's tipoff at 6:00 p.m. ET. If the star guard joins Darius Garland (toe) on the sidelines, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter are candidates for increased playing time, while Lonzo Ball could step into the starting five. Over five regular-season appearances, Mitchell has averaged 28.0 points, 4.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 33.0 minutes per contest.

  • Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Well-rounded performance in start

    Tyson ended with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and three blocks over 33 minutes during Friday's 112-101 loss to the Raptors.

    With Sam Merrill (hip) sidelined, Tyson got the starting nod for a second consecutive game. The second-year swingman finished as the team's third-leading scorer and was one of three Cleveland players to reach double figures. He also led all players in blocks. After recording single-digit points in each of the Cavaliers' first four games, Tyson has scored at least 18 in back-to-back outings. He's averaging 9.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.3 minutes per contest across six regular-season outings (four starts).

  • Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Drops 26 points in defeat

    Hunter registered 26 points (8-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 34 minutes during Friday's 112-101 loss to Toronto.

    The 27-year-old forward recorded a season-high 26 points, finishing as Cleveland's second-leading scorer with Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Darius Garland (toe) sidelined. However, Hunter wasn't very efficient from beyond the arc and has shot just 29.4 percent from three-point range in four regular-season games. He's averaging 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 28.8 minutes per game this season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Remains sidelined Friday

    Garland (toe) didn't play in Friday's 112-101 loss to the Raptors.

    As expected, Garland remains sidelined while rehabbing from left toe surgery he underwent in June. He was recently assigned to the G League to get extra reps, signaling he might be close to a return. However, until the team provides another update, Garland can be considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

  • Cavaliers' Lonzo Ball: Five dimes in first start of 2025

    Ball tallied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five assists, five rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Cleveland's 112-101 loss to Toronto on Friday.

    Ball made his first start of the regular season Friday due to the absences of Donovan Mitchell (hamstring), Darius Garland (toe) and Sam Merrill (hip). Ball scored all eight of his points in the third quarter as he took a back seat offensively to Evan Mobley (29 points), De'Andre Hunter (26) and Jaylon Tyson (18). While Ball isn't known for his scoring, he has registered at least five assists in each of his five outings this season. He would likely return to the bench if Mitchell and Garland were to return Sunday against the Hawks.

  • Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Fills box score in spot start

    Wade logged five points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks over 30 minutes during the Cavaliers' 112-101 loss to the Raptors on Friday.

    Wade made his first start of the season Friday due to the absence of Donovan Mitchell (hamstring). Wade struggled with his shot, but he contributed meaningfully in other ways with season highs in steals and blocks. He would revert to his bench role Sunday against the Hawks if Mitchell is cleared to return.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Game-high 29 points in loss

    Mobley registered 29 points (11-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block over 36 minutes during the Cavaliers' 112-101 loss to the Raptors on Friday.

    Mobley was pushed into a more prominent offensive role due to the absences of Darius Garland (toe) and Donovan Mitchell (hamstring). Mobley responded with a game-high 29 points, 11 of which came in the fourth quarter, and he also tallied three swipes for the third time this season. He has opened the regular season averaging 20.2 points on 46.1 percent shooting, 9.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 steals over 34.0 minutes per game.

  • Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Will start vs. Toronto

    Wade will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    With Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (finger) joining Darius Garland (toe) in street clothes, Wade will be in the starting lineup for the first time this season. Wade will be joined by Lonzo Ball, Jaylon Tyson, De'Andre Hunter and Evan Mobley.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Lonzo Ball: Starting Friday

    Ball will start in Friday's game against the Raptors, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

    With Donovan Mitchell (hamstring), Darius Garland (toe) and Sam Merrill (hip) all sidelined, Ball will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The Cavaliers have been cautious with the 28-year-old point guard's playing time due to his extensive injury history, and he'll remain on a minutes restriction Friday, according to Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Over four regular-season games, Ball has averaged 4.8 points, 6.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per game.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Won't play Friday

    Mitchell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

    Mitchell will miss a game for the first time this season due to a hamstring issue. Jarrett Allen (hand) has also been ruled out for this game, meaning Cleveland will be down two starters. The team will likely turn to Lonzo Ball and Jaylon Tyson in the backcourt while leaning on Larry Nance and Thomas Bryant in the frontcourt.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Won't play vs. Toronto

    Allen (finger) won't play in Friday's game against the Raptors, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

    Allen was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture in his left finger Thursday, and it appears that the Cavaliers will evaluate him on a day-to-day basis. The star big man can be deemed questionable for Sunday's showdown with the Hawks. Evan Mobley should dominate the usage in Donovan Mitchell's (hamstring) absence Friday, while Larry Nance makes sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option in a pinch.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Cavaliers' Chris Livingston: Signing two-way deal with Cleveland

    Livingston agreed to a two-way contract with the Cavaliers on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    After being waived by the Bucks during training camp, Livingston has latched on with another team. The 2023 second-rounder will likely see most of his playing time come with the G League's Cleveland Charge, though Livingston is also a depth option in the Cavaliers' frontcourt while Jarrett Allen's (finger) status remains in limbo.
