Jaylon Tyson moved from out to day-to-day with a right ankle issue, and the injury report lists Nov. 4 as his expected return. That is the date of the Cavaliers' game at Oklahoma City, so his availability there is not yet settled.
What happened
Jaylon Tyson was upgraded from out to day-to-day on the injury report at 12:53 a.m. ET Tuesday. The injury is listed as a right ankle and leg issue. The report gives an expected return date of Nov. 4, the day Cleveland plays at Oklahoma City. Its comment says Tyson (ankle) was ruled out for Monday's game against Oklahoma City. He was listed out on Friday, Oct. 30, and the report moved him between day-to-day and out on Sunday, Nov. 1. A separate neck and head issue had him day-to-day on Oct. 29 before he was cleared.
What it means for the Cavaliers
Cleveland plays at the Thunder on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 8:00 PM ET. The Cavaliers are 4-3, in fourth place, and lost their last game. Tyson has played five games, averaging 20.7 minutes, 7.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists. The Cavaliers are 3-2 with him and 1-1 without him. In the games he missed, the minutes went to James Harden (33.5), Donovan Mitchell (33.4), Evan Mobley (32.8), Peyton Watson (28.6), Jarrett Allen (27.9), Sam Merrill (24.1), Meleek Thomas (22.1) and Mario Hezonja (19.1). Watson is also day-to-day with a right hamstring issue.
What to watch
The next injury report should show whether Tyson is cleared for the Thunder game on Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET. The report lists Nov. 4 as his expected return, but a day-to-day tag does not confirm he will play. Watch Watson's hamstring on the same report, since both players are listed day-to-day. Cleveland has not announced anything beyond Wednesday's game.
