Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: 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.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Won't play Saturday vs. Hornets
Porter (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.
Porter will be sidelined for a second straight game due to an illness, and his next opportunity to play will be against the Heat on Sunday. Porter hasn't seen much playing time off the Cavs' bench as of late and has recently spent time in the G League with the Cleveland Charge.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Recalled to Cavaliers on Thursday
Tyson was recalled to the Cavaliers on Thursday.
After posting 22 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes for the Cleveland Charge on Thursday, Tyson is back with the parent club ahead of its matchup against the Hornets on Saturday. In his last five NBA appearances, the 22-year-old averaged 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds across 7.8 minutes per game.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: Working with G League club
Strus (ankle) was assigned to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Wednesday morning and recalled in the afternoon.
The Charge didn't play a game on Wednesday, so Strus presumably joined the affiliate to practice, though it's unclear how much he could do. The sharpshooter has yet to play this season after spraining his right ankle during a workout ahead of training camp, and coach Kenny Atkinson said at the beginning of December that Strus didn't have a return timetable. Strus remains out indefinitely, but it's encouraging to see him at least taking gradual steps toward his debut.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Shines off bench in victory
LeVert amassed 21 points (7-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 126-114 victory over Denver.
LeVert provided a big lift off Cleveland's bench in the victory, ending second on the team in threes made while finishing as one of four players with 20 or more points to go along with a team-high-tying assist mark. LeVert set a new season-high mark from three Thursday and posted his second game with at least 20 points.

Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Strong from deep as top scorer
Mitchell contributed 28 points (11-24 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 126-114 victory over Denver.
Mitchell did a little bit of everything for Cleveland in Thursday's high-scoring contest, taking the game over offensively while leading all players in scoring and threes made to go along with a team-high-tying assist total. Mitchell, who also led the team with a pair of blocks, has connected on at least five threes in seven contests while scoring at least 25 points on 11 occasions.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Limited role off bench in return
Jerome ended with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Thursday's 126-114 win over the Nuggets.
Jerome returned to a limited role Thursday after missing Cleveland's previous game due to an illness. Jerome has been a nice contributor for the Cavaliers' second unit this season, averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 18.5 minutes per game across 22 appearances (two starts).

Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Won't return Thursday
Okoro won't return to Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a left knee contusion, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports. He'll finish the contest with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two assists in 12 minutes.
Okoro didn't start the second half due to the injury, and the Cavaliers are taking the safe route by ruling him out for the rest of the game. Caris LeVert, Dean Wade and Georges Niang could all pick up some extra minutes if Okoro is unable to return to action in the Cavaliers' next game Saturday versus the Hornets.

Cavaliers' JT Thor: Recalled from G League
The Cavaliers recalled Thor from the G League's Cleveland Charge on Thursday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Thor will be available for the Cavaliers' game Thursday against the Nuggets, but he's unlikely to see the court if the contest is competitive. The two-way forward has appeared in just two games at the NBA level this season, playing 15 minutes in total.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Ruled out Thursday
Porter (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Nuggets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
After posting 12 points, eight assists, six rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes for the G League's Cleveland Charge during a Thursday morning loss to the Motor City Cruise, Porter was a late addition to the NBA injury report and didn't suit up for the Cavaliers on Thursday night. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus the Hornets. The 24-year-old's absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation, as he hasn't played more than seven minutes in a game over the Cavaliers' last five contests. Porter has recently made two appearances in the G League, but he's struggled mightily with his shot, going 10-for-31 from the field and 2-for-11 from deep. While he dished out 14 assists in those two games, he also coughed up 10 turnovers.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Good to go against Denver

Jerome has been upgraded from questionable to available after missing Cleveland's previous contest due to an illness. Jerome is averaging 15.2 points, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.8 rebounds in 20.8 minutes across his last five appearances.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Late addition to injury report
Porter is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets due to an illness.
After a brief stint in the G League with the Cleveland Charge, Porter is back with the Cavaliers but is in danger of missing Thursday's contest. With the Cleveland rotation nearly back to full strength, Porter won't be in store for meaningful minutes if he's cleared to play Thursday.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Returns to G League
The Cavaliers assigned Porter to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Thursday.
Porter has been a regular part of the Cavaliers' rotation this season, averaging 2.8 points and 1.4 assists in 9.4 minutes across 16 NBA appearances. The 24-year-old guard will likely return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League.

Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Still battling illness
Jerome (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against Denver.
Jerome is at risk of missing his second consecutive contest due to an illness. A combination of Sam Merrill, Isaac Okoro and Georges Niang would absorb Jerome's minutes if he is unable to suit up Thursday.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Removed from injury report
Garland (head) carries no injury designation into Thursday's game versus Denver.
Garland exited Tuesday's victory over Washington after colliding with Jonas Valanciunas, but the incident will not prompt any further absence. The 24-year-old is averaging 23.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists and just 1.0 turnovers across his last three healthy contests.
