Tyson (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bucks. Tyson will miss a third straight game due to left hip tightness. He's yet to play more than eight minutes in a game this season, so his ongoing absence shouldn't impact Cleveland's rotation.
Tyson (hip) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Bucks. Tyson will miss his second straight contest due to left hip tightness. However, his absence won't significantly impact Cleveland's rotation.
Tyson is out for Friday's game versus the Magic due to left hip tightness. Despite not appearing on the injury report all day, Tyson is a late scratch for Friday's contest. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Tyson closed Friday's 113-101 victory over the Pistons with no counting stats in one minute. Tyson showed his face in the win, breaking into the rotation as the clock expired. The Cavaliers are once again pushing to be a competitive team in the Eastern Conference, meaning Tyson is unlikely to see too much court time. There are no fantasy moves to be made here.
Tyson is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason contest versus Detroit. Tyson gives way to Caris LeVert in Wednesday's starting lineup. The rookie figures to factor prominently into the wing rotation, however, as Sam Merrill (wrist) and Max Strus (hip) are inactive.
Tyson posted 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block across 29 minutes in Thursday's 129-117 preseason loss to the Pacers. The rookie out of Cal was selected with the 20th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, and he could have a role off the bench -- albeit minimal -- if he cracks the Opening Night roster. He'll be a solid depth piece in the rotation, but he's not expected to have much of a role, thus being an afterthought in most fantasy formats.
Tyson is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers. The Cavaliers are resting most of their regulars for this contest, and Tyson will get the nod in the backcourt alongside Ty Jerome since both Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland will be rested.
Tyson scored 21 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT) during Thursday's exhibition loss to the Lakers, adding 11 rebounds, nine assists, one three-pointer, two steals and two turnovers across 32 minutes. Tyson was coming off a 2-of-6 shooting performance, but he got things back on track in this one, finishing 6-of-9 from the field and 8-of-9 at the stripe. Overall, Tyson has looked pretty good in Las Vegas, so it'll be interesting to see if the 21-year-old can immediately earn a sizable role in Cleveland. He'll be someone to keep an eye on over training camp and the preseason.
