Isaac Okoro Latest News
Out at least two weeks
The Cavaliers announced Thursday that Okoro will miss at least two weeks due to a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Okoro suffered his right shoulder injury against Brooklyn on Monday and will now be sidelined at least until the beginning of 2025. In Okoro's absence, Georges Niang and Dean Wade are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Misses practice Wednesday
Okoro (shoulder) was unable to practice Wednesday, Danny Cunningham of Locked on Cavaliers reports. Okoro picked up the injury on Monday, and while there are not many details, coach Kenny Atkinson called him day-to-day. For now, fantasy managers can consider him questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks.
Drops 12 points in win
Okoro posted 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, an assist and a steal over 30 minutes in Monday's 130-101 win over the Nets. Monday night also marked Okoro's second consecutive contest scoring in double digits, which came after a brief two-game absence. Okoro will look to carry his offensive momentum into Friday's matchup with the Bucks.
Stays hot from deep in return
Okoro (knee) accumulated 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 115-105 win over the Wizards. Although it was sharpshooter Georges Niang who started the second half of Sunday's loss to the Heat after Evan Mobley (ankle) departed, Okoro drew the starting nod and chipped in a full stat line in his return from a two-game absence with a knee injury. In 15 games as a starter this season, Okoro is averaging 6.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 22.1 minutes per contest. The 23-year-old three-and-D wing is shooting a career-high 48.3 percent from beyond the arc over 22 games overall this year, and he'll remain a decent source of triples and swipes for fantasy managers if Mobley remains unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Nets.
Gets green light Friday
Okoro (knee) is available and starting in Friday's game against the Wizards, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports. Okoro will suit up Friday following a two-game absence due to a left knee contusion. The 23-year-old will likely handle his normal workload, especially with Evan Mobley (ankle) sidelined. In his last five outings, Okoro has averaged 5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.6 blocks across 21.4 minutes per game.
Expected to play against Washington
Okoro (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Wizards. Okoro is expected to return to action Friday after missing Cleveland's previous two contests with a left knee contusion. If Okoro is ultimately upgraded to available, he will likely reclaim his starting spot from Dean Wade.
Sidelined for Sunday's contest
Okoro (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Heat. After sitting out Saturday's 116-102 win over the Hornets, Okoro will end up missing both legs of Cleveland's back-to-back set while he gets more time off to recover from a bruised left knee. Dean Wade replaced Okoro in the starting five Saturday and will presumably do so again Sunday.
Downgraded to out
Okoro (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports. Okoro was added to the injury report as questionable after leaving Thursday's matchup with a knee injury, and the team has since determined that he won't suit up Saturday. Georges Niang and Dean Wade should be in line for more chances as a result.
Game-time decision Saturday
Okoro (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports. Okoro injured his left knee during Thursday's 126-114 win over the Nuggets, and his status for Saturday's game won't likely be known until he goes through pregame warmups. Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and Dean Wade would all be candidates to enter the Cavs' starting five and see increased playing time if Okoro is unable to play Saturday.
