  • Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle) ruled out Wednesday
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter has not appeared in a game since Cleveland’s regular-season finale, and his absence has not impacted the rotation. That remains the case for Game 5, with the Cavaliers trailing three games to one. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:36 pm
     
  • Won't play Wednesday
    Porter (ankle) won't suit up for Wednesday's Game 5 in Boston, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

    Advice: Porter is set to miss his 12th straight game, and with Caris LeVert (knee) and Donovan Mitchell (calf) also out, Darius Garland will get all the run he can handle. There should also be ample minutes for Max Strus and Dean Wade. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:27 pm
     
  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) doubtful for Game 5 Weds.
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter has not played in a game since injuring his ankle during the Cavaliers’ regular-season finale. His absence has not impacted the rotation, but Cleveland is in an unenviable position ahead of what could be the final game of their season. Starter Donovan Mitchell (calf) and critical reserve Caris LeVert (knee) are questionable for Game 5, with the latter starting Game 4 for the former. If both are sidelined, Porter would be needed if he is available. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:41 pm
     
  • Another absence coming
    Jerome (ankle) is out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 while recovering from right ankle surgery. There is no indication that Jerome is nearing a return to action. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:40 pm
     
  • Unlikely to play Wednesday
    Porter (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter is expected to miss his 12 straight game Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. While Porter's upgraded status suggests he's nearing a return, Cleveland being down 3-1 to Boston could mean the series will be over before the rookie guard can suit up again.

  • Cracks rotation in blowout loss
    Milton supplied three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Milton saw his first minutes of the postseason, playing the entire fourth quarter of what was an ugly loss. The series is now tied at 2-2, but the Pacers have all the momentum heading back to New York. Assuming Game 5 on Tuesday is tighter, don't expect to see Milton in the rotation.

  • Sidelined for Game 4
    Porter (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter has missed 11 consecutive contests due to a sprained left ankle. Even if healthy, Porter likely wouldn't factor into the rotation. Rotowire.com May 12, 2:51 pm
     
  • Still out
    Jerome (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against Boston.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't suited up since October due to a right ankle injury that required surgery. Even if he were to return at some point during the playoffs, he likely wouldn't be part of the Cavs' rotation. Rotowire.com May 12, 2:49 pm
