Tyson had 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 win over New Orleans. Tyson got his first career start Wednesday, and he performed well across multiple categories for Cleveland while posting a double-double and putting forth the best performance of his young career in a winning effort. Tyson, who recorded team-high marks in assists and steals, set career-high marks in every statistical category.
Tyson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. The Cavaliers are thin in terms of their wing depth and will give the rookie the first start of his career. Tyson will play alongside Ty Jerome, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. The rookie out of California has averaged only 4.3 minutes per game in six outings this season, but he's bound to experience an uptick in his minutes in this contest.
Tyson (hip) played the final 3:26 of Friday's 136-117 win over the Warriors, missing both of his field-goal attempts and committing a turnover during his time on the court. The rookie first-round pick made his first appearance for the Cavaliers since missing the team's first three games of the month due to a hip injury. Tyson remains firmly outside of head coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation and could be a candidate to head to the G League's Cleveland Charge if playing time remains hard to come by at the NBA level.
Tyson (hip) has been cleared for Wednesday's game versus New Orleans, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports. Tyson and Caris LeVert (knee) will both be available Wednesday, leaving Dean Wade (illness) and Max Strus (hip) as the only absences on Cleveland's roster. Tyson will return from a three-game absence, although he has compiled just 21 minutes of action in four appearances.
Tyson (hip) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Pelicans. Tyson has been dealing with a left hip sprain, and while the questionable tag leaves the door open for a potential return, it's worth noting Tyson hasn't played since Oct. 30. The rookie has been limited to just four appearances off the bench this season, so he shouldn't have a lot of upside in fantasy even if healthy.
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.
