  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Plays garbage time of loss

    Porter played the final 2:44 of Sunday's 108-93 loss to the Pacers, finishing with two points (1-1 FG) and no other statistics.

    After being recalled from the G League's Cleveland Charge earlier in the day, Porter was called upon off the bench Sunday, though he wasn't a part of the rotation while the game was competitive. Porter is averaging just 8.1 minutes per game over 22 appearances for Cleveland this season.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Headed back to G League

    The Cavaliers assigned Porter to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Thursday.

    Porter has been an inconsistent part of Cleveland's NBA rotation, averaging just 1.2 points in 4.8 minutes across his last five appearances. However, Porter should receive increased playing time in the G League, where he is averaging 34.6 minutes of action across his two appearances.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Rejoins parent club

    The Cavaliers recalled Porter from the G League's Cleveland Charge on Sunday.

    Porter had a pair of strong showings in the G League over the weekend, but he's now back with the Cavaliers to provide some depth out of the backcourt in Monday's game versus the Warriors.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Good to go Friday

    Porter (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Bucks.

    Porter will return to action Friday after missing Cleveland's most recent outing due to a sprained left ankle. The 24-year-old guard is averaging 2.8 points and 1.4 assists in 9.4 minutes across his last 16 appearances.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Sits out Monday with ankle injury

    Porter was ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Nets due to a left ankle sprain.

    Porter had missed three straight games for Cleveland with an illness, but he proved his health by playing 33 minutes for the G League's Cleveland Charge in a 141-131 win over the Wisconsin Herd on Friday. Though he's now back with the parent club, Porter apparently hurt his ankle at some point during his G League appearance. His availability for the Cavaliers' next game Friday versus the Bucks is seemingly up in the air.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Returns to parent club

    The Cavaliers recalled Porter from the G League's Cleveland Charge on Sunday.

    Following a three-game absence due to an illness, Porter returned to action in the G League on Friday, posting 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes during the Charge's 141-131 win over the Wisconsin Herd. Given his inconsistent role with the NBA club, the second-year guard may see more chances in the G League moving forward.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Dealing with ankle injury

    Porter is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets due to a left ankle sprain.

    Porter recently shook off an illness and returned to action in the G League, posting 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes during the Charge's 141-131 win over the Wisconsin Herd. Even if he's cleared to suit up, Porter isn't guaranteed a consistent role at the NBA level.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Heads to G League

    The Cavaliers assigned Porter (illness) to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Thursday.

    Porter missed the Cavaliers' previous three games due to an illness before being assigned to the G League. The 24-year-old guard has made just two appearances for the Charge this season.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Sidelined Sunday

    Porter (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.

    He'll miss a third straight game due to the illness. Porter had fallen out of the rotation after Caris LeVert returned in mid-November following a multi-game injury absence, so the second-year guard's continued absence Sunday shouldn't affect how head coach Kenny Atkinson divvies up the minutes among the team's backcourt players.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Won't play Saturday vs. Hornets

    Porter (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

    Porter will be sidelined for a second straight game due to an illness, and his next opportunity to play will be against the Heat on Sunday. Porter hasn't seen much playing time off the Cavs' bench as of late and has recently spent time in the G League with the Cleveland Charge.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Ruled out Thursday

    Porter (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Nuggets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    After posting 12 points, eight assists, six rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes for the G League's Cleveland Charge during a Thursday morning loss to the Motor City Cruise, Porter was a late addition to the NBA injury report and didn't suit up for the Cavaliers on Thursday night. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus the Hornets. The 24-year-old's absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation, as he hasn't played more than seven minutes in a game over the Cavaliers' last five contests. Porter has recently made two appearances in the G League, but he's struggled mightily with his shot, going 10-for-31 from the field and 2-for-11 from deep. While he dished out 14 assists in those two games, he also coughed up 10 turnovers.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Late addition to injury report

    Porter is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets due to an illness.

    After a brief stint in the G League with the Cleveland Charge, Porter is back with the Cavaliers but is in danger of missing Thursday's contest. With the Cleveland rotation nearly back to full strength, Porter won't be in store for meaningful minutes if he's cleared to play Thursday.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Returns to G League

    The Cavaliers assigned Porter to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Thursday.

    Porter has been a regular part of the Cavaliers' rotation this season, averaging 2.8 points and 1.4 assists in 9.4 minutes across 16 NBA appearances. The 24-year-old guard will likely return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Recalled to NBA

    The Cavaliers recalled Porter from the G League's Cleveland Charge on Tuesday.

    Porter played 30 minutes against the Skyforce Tuesday, notching 13 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals. He then played six minutes at the NBA level Tuesday night against the Wizards, scoring two points with two assists.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Season-best numbers in loss

    Porter ended with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-117 loss to the Celtics.

    The second-year guard saw his largest workload of the season due to injuries to Max Strus (ankle), Caris LeVert (knee) and Isaac Okoro (ankle), and Porter responded with his highest scoring output so far in 2024-25. The Wichita State product could continue to see an increased role in the short term, but LeVert's return in particular will likely bump Porter back to the end of the bench.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Limited again in victory

    Porter had three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 victory over the 76ers.

    Porter logged 11 minutes in the win, the first time his playing time has exceeded double-digits all season. Having won 13 straight games to begin the campaign, the Cavaliers are unlikely to tinker with their rotation unless absolutely necessary. For that reason, Porter is destined to remain nothing but a depth piece, at least for the foreseeable future.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Plays five minutes in return

    Porter (thumb) logged two assists and one rebound in five minutes off the bench in Saturday's 114-113 win over the Bucks.

    Porter had missed the previous three games with a right thumb sprain before he returned to action Saturday in the second leg of the back-to-back set. Prior to suffering the injury, Porter hadn't been part of the rotation, but head coach Kenny Atkinson turned the reserve guard loose for five minutes in the second quarter Saturday, and he performed well during his time on the court. However, if Caris LeVert (knee) is back in action for Monday's rematch with the Bucks, Porter is likely to fall back out of the rotation.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Available Saturday

    Porter (thumb) is available for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

    As expected, Porter has been upgraded from probable to available. With Caris LeVert (knee) sidelined, there may be some extra reserve minutes for Porter against Milwaukee.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Expected to play against Milwaukee

    Porter (thumb) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Bucks.

    Porter is expected to return to action after missing Cleveland's previous three contests with a sprained right thumb. With Caris LeVert (knee) out, it could open up an opportunity for Porter to receive increased playing time.
