Cavaliers Injury Report
Okoro (shoulder) will return to action Wednesday against the Thunder, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Okoro has missed the last eight games due to injury but will return against the red-hot Thunder, who have won their last 15 games. It is yet to be determined whether Okoro will reassume his place in the starting lineup, but his availability is a good sign for the Cavaliers, who hope to extend their lengthy win streak to 11.
Merrill (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports. Merrill was initially listed as questionable, but the former Utah State standout will miss a third straight game with a nagging ankle problem. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday against Toronto in the second leg of this back-to-back set.
Merrill (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports. Merrill and Isaac Okoro (shoulder) both went through a full practice Tuesday which included contact. Merrill has missed the past two games for Cleveland, but if his ankle responds well in the morning, he could potentially be available to return against the Thunder.
Okoro (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports. Okoro, who has missed the past eight games with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, was able to go through a full-contact practice Tuesday, which included a scrimmage. Head coach Kenny Atkinson said the Cavaliers will check back in with Okoro during Wednesday's morning shootaround before his status is determined for the game later that day.
Niang chipped in 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 18 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 win over Charlotte. Niang has reached 20 minutes just two times over his last five appearances, as the wing rotation is suddenly crowded with the return of Max Strus. Over his last five games, Niang holds averages of 8.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 18.5 minutes.
Wade notched six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 win over the Hornets. Despite starting, Wade is a low-usage player and rarely makes a splash on the stat sheet. Through 26 appearances this season, the forward holds averages of 6.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per game.
Jerome accumulated eight points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 victory over the Hornets. Jerome provided a nice boost off the bench Sunday, swiping a team-high steals total while contributing in every other area of the game and concluding two points short of the double-digit mark. Jerome posted his sixth game of the season with at least five points, four rebounds and four assists. He has been a nice spark off the bench as of late, tallying eight or more points in three of his last four outings as part of the second unit.
Allen ended Sunday's 115-105 win over Charlotte with 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 28 minutes. Allen once again led the Cavaliers in the paint Sunday, pacing all players in rebounds and blocks while ending second on the team in scoring and as the lone player with a double-double in a winning effort. Allen has recorded a double-double in 20 outings this season, including in three of his last five contests.
