Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Minimal impact in loss
Okoro chipped in two points (1-2 FG) and one steal in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Okoro failed to make his presence felt in Tuesday's Game 5 after scoring 13 points in Game 4. The 2020 first-round pick had his quietest regular season to date, appearing in 55 games and averaging 6.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks on 46.4 percent shooting, including 37.1 percent from beyond the arc. Okoro signed a three-year, $33 million extension in September.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Quiet in Game 5 loss
Allen totaled nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Allen was the anchor for the Cavaliers all season long but had a limited impact in the team's last two games, contributing to their surprisingly early playoff exit. In nine games this postseason, the 27-year-old averaged 13.4 points and 8.4 rebounds on 72.1 percent shooting. Allen was the only player on the team to suit up for all 82 regular-season games, averaging 13.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks on 70.6 percent shooting. The big man signed an extension last summer and is under contract for the next three seasons.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Struggles in defeat
Wade racked up four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and six rebounds in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Playing in his sixth NBA season for Cleveland, Wade averaged a career-high 21.1 minutes across 59 regular-season appearances. He was a reliable role player for the team, but he had a very low usage rate, and he rarely made an impact on the stat sheet. He put up 5.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers, shooting 41.3 percent from the field. The forward will on a $6.6 million expiring contract in 2025-26.

Cavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Notches 12 points in Game 5
Hunter contributed 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Hunter sat out Cleveland's Game 2 loss after dislocating his right thumb in Game 1, and his play was affected as a result. Acquired in a midseason trade with Atlanta, Hunter saw his usage rate dip on a star-studded Cleveland team. He appeared in 27 regular-season games, posting averages of 14.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.2 three-pointers on 48.5 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from beyond the arc. Hunter is owed a combined $48.2 million over the next two seasons.

Cavaliers' Evan Mobley: Strong effort in loss
Mobley contributed 24 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Mobley and Donovan Mitchell were a couple of bright spots in an otherwise poor showing from the Cavaliers as the team was bounced from the postseason. As for the regular season, Mobley has plenty to be proud of. He appeared in 71 total games, shooting 55.7 percent from the field and 72.5 percent from the line with averages of 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 steals. He also extended his range to the perimeter, hitting a career-high 1.2 three-pointers on a 37.0 percent clip. Next season, Mobley will be entering the first year of a five-year, $224 million contract.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Struggles in elimination game
Garland had 11 points (4-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
It's been no secret that Garland's toe injury affected him in the playoffs, but credit to him for pushing through at less than 100 percent. The Cavaliers may have been bounced out of the playoffs with a 3-1 loss, but they had an impressive regular season with a 64-18 record, good for first place in the Eastern Conference. Garland made 75 regular-season appearances, hitting 47.2 percent from the field with averages of 20.6 points, 6.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.8 three-pointers. Cleveland's star point guard is under contract with the team for another three seasons.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Quiet in season-ending loss
Jerome closed Tuesday's 114-105 loss to the Pacers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 11 minutes.
Jerome was quiet in the Game 5 loss, rounding out what was a breakout season, at least from an individual standpoint. However, despite closing the season with a scoring average of 12.4 points per game, Jerome's output during the playoffs was largely underwhelming. Over the final four games, he averaged 4.7 points, 1.3 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.7 three-pointers.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: Goes scoreless in Game 5 loss
Strus closed Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with zero points (0-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes.
Strus was nowhere to be seen, going scoreless in a game for the first time this season. While he was able to score at least 20 points on two separate occasions during the second-round matchup, Strus' inconsistency on the offensive end mirrored what he delivered during the regular season. After earning the top seed in the Eastern Conference, Cleveland will likely rue plenty of missed opportunities as it shifts its focus to the 2025-26 season.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Scores game-high 35 points
Mitchell totaled 35 points (8-25 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 15-21 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Mitchell aggravated a left ankle injury in Game 4 but shook off a questionable tag to suit up Tuesday. He tweaked the ankle again in the third quarter of Game 5 but returned a few minutes later and led a comeback that fell short. Mitchell finished with a game-high 35 points in Cleveland's final outing of the season, and despite scoring at least 30 points in four of the five second-round contests, the superstar guard was unable to get the Cavaliers past the Pacers. After a highly successful regular season ended with the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, Cleveland's postseason will warrant a lot of discussion, both internally and externally.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Returns Tuesday
Mitchell (undisclosed) has returned to Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers with 1:06 remaining in the third quarter.
Mitchell limped to the locker room with 4:44 remaining in the third, though he has since returned. The superstar was listed as questionable due to a sprained left ankle before suiting up Tuesday, and he will likely continue to battle through the ankle injury in a win-or-go-home Game 5.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Exits to locker room Tuesday
Mitchell (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Mitchell was listed as questionable before Tuesday's game due to a sprained left ankle that he aggravated during Sunday's Game 4 loss, and he limped to the locker room with 4:44 remaining in the third. If the superstar is unable to return, De'Andre Hunter and Ty Jerome are candidates for a bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Cavaliers' Sam Merrill: Late scratch Tuesday
Merrill (neck) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Merrill was a late addition to the injury report and will miss Game 5 due to a neck strain. The 28-year-old had played in all eight of Cleveland's playoff games prior to this, making three starts and averaging 5.8 points on 37.5 percent shooting. Merrill's absence puts a greater emphasis on Ty Jerome, De'Andre Hunter and Isaac Okoro to produce off the bench.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Good to go Tuesday
Mitchell (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Mitchell aggravated a sprained left ankle in Sunday's Game 4 loss and didn't return, though he'll come back for Tuesday's win-or-go-home Game 5. The superstar has averaged 34.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals across 31.8 minutes per game in four second-round appearances.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Game-time call Tuesday
Mitchell, who is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers due to a sprained left ankle, will be a game-time decision, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Mitchell aggravated the ankle injury in Sunday's Game 4 loss and didn't return. However, he participated in shootaround Tuesday morning and is seemingly trending in the right direction. The superstar's status will likely be decided just before Tuesday's tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET, as the Cavaliers attempt to stave off elimination in a win-or-go-home Game 5. Mitchell has averaged 34.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals across 31.8 minutes per game in four second-round appearances. If he's unable to suit up Tuesday, De'Andre Hunter, Ty Jerome and Sam Merrill are candidates for a bump in minutes.
