Cavaliers' Lonzo Ball: Sitting out vs. Wizards
Ball (knee) is out for Friday's game against Washington.
The Cavaliers will hold Ball out of action for left knee injury management. The veteran floor general figures to be back in the lineup for the second half of a back-to-back game Saturday against the Bulls. With Ball sitting out Friday, the door is open for Craig Porter to handle the backup role at point guard.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Ruled out for Friday
Wade (eye) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
Wade exited Wednesday's 132-121 win over the 76ers due to an eye injury and didn't return, and the injury will also keep him sidelined for this contest. Wade doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal with averages of 5.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in eight appearances (one start) this season. His next chance to play will come against the Bulls on Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Likely to play Friday
Hunter (illness) is probable to play Friday against the Wizards.
Hunter missed Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to an illness, but the probable tag suggests he should be able to return after a one-game absence. Hunter is averaging 18.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in five starts in 2025-26.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Nails four triples in return
Merrill (hip) compiled 14 points (4-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 27 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Cavaliers' 132-121 win over the 76ers.
Though Darius Garland's (toe) season debut was the major storyline for Cleveland, Merrill made a return of his own from a three-game absence, and his bench-leading scoring total helped power the Cavaliers to victory. Merrill should be a key piece of the rotation moving forward, but he'll likely see his playing time take at least a slight hit once Cleveland is back to full strength. In addition to the Cavaliers playing without De'Andre Hunter (illness) and Max Strus (foot), Dean Wade played just 38 seconds before exiting Wednesday's game with an eye injury.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Drops 10 in win
Tyson amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 132-121 win over the 76ers.
With De'Andre Hunter (illness) out, Tyson remained in the starting lineup despite Darius Garland (toe) making his season debut Wednesday, shifting Sam Merrill to the bench. It is apparent that the coaching staff likes what they saw from Tyson with the starters, and he showed out defensively, registering two steals and a block (averages 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks so far).

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Scoreless in 18 minutes
Porter ended Wednesday's 132-121 victory over the 76ers with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 18 minutes.
With the Cavaliers getting some reinforcements back Wednesday, minutes could be really hard to come by going forward for Porte. It helped his case that De'Andre Hunter (illness) sat out Wednesday. Porter has seen 18.0 minutes per game this season with averages of 5.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 three-pointers.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Drops 23 in win
Mobley ended Wednesday's 132-121 win over the 76ers with 23 points (9-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes.
Mobley had a great all-around performance Wednesday, but all the hype will be around his teammate Donovan Mitchell, who exploded for 46 points. The reigning DPOY is averaging 19.8 points, 8,4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.9 steals, 1.8 blocks and 1.9 threes made.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Drops double-double in return
Allen posted 24 points (11-17 FG, 02- 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals over 30 minutes during Cleveland's 132-121 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Wednesday marked the first time in the 2025-26 season that Cleveland's core four of Allen, Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley shared the floor together. Allen was cleared to play Wednesday after missing the Cavaliers' last two games due to a finger injury and made his presence felt in his return with a game-high plus-24 point differential. He also posted season-highs in blocks and steals and recorded his first double-double of the season after logging 40 during the 2024-25 campaign. Allen is averaging 15.7 points on 59.6 percent shooting, 7.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks over 27.5 minutes to open the regular season.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Doesn't return
Wade exited Wednesday's 132-121 win over the 76ers due to an eye injury and did not return.
Wade suffered the injury in his first minute of action, and he finished the game recording an assist and no other counting stats. His next chance to play will come Friday at Washington, which is the first leg of a back-to-back set.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Quiet in regular-season debut
Garland posted eight points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four assists and two rebounds over 26 minutes during the Cavaliers' 132-121 win over the 76ers on Wednesday.
Garland was cleared to make his 2025-26 debut Wednesday after fully recovering from an offseason toe injury. He scored all eight of his points in the first half, though he posted just one assist across 12 minutes over the last two quarters. Garland should see his minutes increase as the season progresses, though he could be held out of back-to-backs while working his way back into game shape.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Drops 46 points vs. Sixers
Mitchell tallied 46 points (15-21 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal over 35 minutes during the Cavaliers' 132-121 win over the 76ers on Wednesday.
Mitchell set the tone early with 15 points in the first quarter and helped the Cavaliers close things out with 25 points in the second half. The All-Pro guard has scored at least 31 points in five of seven games, and his 46 points were tied for the second most in his career. Mitchell is off to a blistering start from the field with a 57.6 percent shooting clip, including 45.5 percent from three on 9.4 3PA/G. He has opened the 2025-26 regular season averaging 31.9 points, 5.0 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 33.9 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Questionable to return
Wade is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to a right eye injury, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Specifics regarding the injury are unknown at this point, but Wade may be unable to return Wednesday because of the issue. Larry Nance, Thomas Bryant and Luke Travers are the likeliest candidates to see an uptick in minutes while Wade is sidelined.

Cavaliers' Larry Nance: Slides back to bench
Nance isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Nance drew the start in Cleveland's previous contest due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (finger). However, Allen is available for Wednesday's tilt and will re-enter the first five. In the five games Allen has been healthy, Nance has averaged 5.4 points and 4.0 rebounds across 15.4 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Won't play Wednesday
Hunter (illness) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Hunter is dealing with an illness that will keep him sidelined. The team will likely give Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade more time on the floor in Hunter's absence.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Set to face Philly
Allen (finger) will play in Wednesday's game against Philadelphia barring a setback in pregame warmups, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
For the first time this season, the Cavaliers' entire core four of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Allen will be available. Allen has missed back-to-back games with a fractured finger on his left hand, but the 27-year-old center appears to be a full-go Wednesday. Per Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Allen will wear a protective splint on the finger. He's averaging 14.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Available Wednesday
Merrill (hip) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
After missing the last three games due to a hip issue, Merrill is ready to get back on the floor. In four games played this season, he is averaging 17.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 52.5 percent from the field and 51.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: To play Wednesday
Garland (toe) will play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers, barring a setback in warmups, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Garland is officially ready to make his 2025-26 debut after missing the Cavs' first seven games while recovering from an offseason toe surgery. The star point guard will likely reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, which could mean fewer opportunities for players like Lonzo Ball and Jaylon Tyson. Donovan Mitchell will also have less ball-handling duties as a result of Garland's return.
... See More ... See Less -
Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Iffy due to illness
Hunter (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Hunter was a late addition to the injury report. It's possible the Cavaliers evaluate him after warmups before a decision is made on his status. Sam Merrill (hip) is also questionable, so the Cavaliers could be pretty shorthanded on the wings unless they get some good news on these forwards.
