Cavaliers Injury Report
Okoro (shoulder) is out for Monday's game against the Suns. Okoro is set to miss a second consecutive game with a right shoulder sprain. This means Caris LeVert, Dean Wade and Georges Niang are all candidates to see more minutes while Okoro is out. His next chance to play will come against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Mobley (calf) will miss Monday's game against the Suns. Mobley will be sidelined for a second straight game after sitting out against Minnesota on Saturday. Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com previously reported that the Cavaliers were taking a cautious approach with the big man. Caris LeVert moved into the starting lineup Saturday, but he flopped with two points, four rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes.
Niang notched 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 win over the Timberwolves. With Evan Mobley sidelined with a calf injury Saturday, Niang stepped up off Cleveland's bench with his highest scoring output since Jan. 3 against Dallas to go with his first double-double of the season. Although it was sixth man Caris LeVert who drew the start for the Cavaliers in Mobley's stead, Niang may have left enough of an impression to be considered for a start if Mobley sits out Monday's game against the Suns as well. In any case, Niang should offer streaming value in fantasy leagues until Mobley is healthy.
Garland finished with 29 points (8-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 victory over Minnesota. With his five threes Saturday, Garland buried his most treys since Dec. 21. The star guard has now also reached the 20-point mark in each of his past five games for the Cavaliers as he continues his bounce-back campaign following an injury-riddled 2023-24 season. Fantasy managers can look for Garland to see a bump in usage if Evan Mobley remains sidelined with a calf injury for Monday's game against the Suns.
Mitchell closed Saturday's 124-117 victory over the Timberwolves with a game-high 36 points (12-27 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 34 minutes. After scoring a season-low eight points in Thursday's loss to the Thunder, Mitchell bounced back for the Cavaliers with 36 points against a tough Timberwolves defense to lead all scorers. If Evan Mobley remains out with a calf injury for Monday's game against the Suns, fantasy managers can expect Mitchell to see a slight uptick in usage, considering the superstar guard took his most field-goal attempts Saturday since Nov. 19.
LeVert is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves. The Cavaliers will be forced to tweak their lineup due to the absence of Evan Mobley (calf), and LeVert will move into the first unit as a result. This will be LeVert's second start of the season. In the previous one, a Jan. 9 matchup against the Raptors, he finished with 18 points, three rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes.
Okoro (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. The Cavaliers will be thin in terms of frontcourt depth since they'll also be without Evan Mobley (calf). Okoro is a regular off the bench for the Cavs, and Georges Niang, Max Strus and even Jaylon Tyson could be in line to see more minutes off the bench. Okoro's next chance to play will come against the Suns on Monday.
Mobley (calf) will not play Saturday against the Timberwolves, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports. Mobley will be sidelined for just the third time this season. Fedor reports that the Cavaliers are just being cautious and that the franchise was looking to get him a maintenance day before the All-Star break. With Mobley sidelined, Fedor notes that the Cavaliers could move Caris LeVert into the starting lineup.
