Isaac Okoro - Game-time decision SaturdayOkoro (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

ImpactOkoro 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.

Craig Porter Jr. - Won't play Saturday vs. HornetsPorter (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

ImpactPorter 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.

Dario Šaric - Iffy for Saturday vs. WashingtonSaric (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

ImpactSaric has fallen out of the rotation and is in jeopardy of missing a sixth consecutive matchup. The 30-year-old big man is dealing with a left ankle sprain, and he hasn't hit the double-digit mark in minutes since Nov. 19 (18 minutes).

Jamal Murray - Questionable for SaturdayMurray is questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to right hamstring inflammation.

ImpactMurray surpassed the 40-minute mark in the loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday, marking just the second time he achieved that this season, but it's unclear if the inflammation is directly tied to the workload he's had of late. Regardless, the questionable tag suggests he could have a decent shot at playing Saturday in what figures to be a favorable matchup on paper. Murray is averaging 18.2 points, 7.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game over his last five outings.

Aaron Gordon - Deemed probable for SaturdayGordon (calf) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

ImpactGordon has played in three consecutive outings following a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain, during which he averaged 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 30.3 minutes per game. The 29-year-old forward is likely to suit up for a fourth consecutive outing, and he has shot an efficient 61.5 percent from the floor since his return.

Jaylon Tyson - Recalled to Cavaliers on ThursdayTyson was recalled to the Cavaliers on Thursday.

ImpactTyson 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.

Max Strus - Working with G League clubStrus (ankle) was assigned to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Wednesday morning and recalled in the afternoon.

ImpactThe 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.
