Impact Okoro got a spot-start in Cleveland's final game of the regular season. However, Darius Garland (back) and Donovan Mitchell (knee) are both good to go, so Okoro will return to his usual role off the bench.

Starting Sunday Okoro will start at shooting guard in Sunday's matchup with the Hornets, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.
Impact With Donovan Mitchell (knee), Caris LeVert (knee) and Sam Merrill (neck) all sidelined, Cleveland will be thin at depth in its regular-season finale. As a result, Okoro will start on the wing alongside Max Strus, and figures to see a relatively heavy workload.

Plays 25 minutes in return Okoro (toe) scored 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT) and added three rebounds in 25 minutes Sunday in the Cavaliers' 120-118 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Okoro was back in action for Cleveland after missing the previous four games with a sprained right big toe. He began March by starting in 15 straight contests while averaging 32.3 minutes per game during that span, but with Max Strus having recently returned from injury, Okoro has come off the bench in his last two appearances and has logged 15- and 25-minute workloads.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE
Will return Sunday Okoro (toe) will play Sunday against the Clippers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Okoro will make his return following a four-game absence due to a right big toe sprain. His presence should help mitigate Donovan Mitchell's (rest) absence, but Okoro may be limited in his first appearance since March 29. In March, Okoro started 16 of 17 appearances and averaged 9.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in 31.3 minutes per game.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Sunday Okoro (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Okoro has missed four straight, including the front half of Cleveland's current back-to-back set, due to a right big toe sprain, but he has a chance to suit up Sunday. Donovan Mitchell (rest) is out, so Okoro's potential return would provide Cleveland with much-needed depth against the Clippers.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Out again Saturday Okoro (toe) will not play Saturday against the Lakers.
Impact Okoro will miss his fourth straight game Saturday, and it's not a good sign if he's getting ruled out a day in advance. He should be considered questionable at best for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Remains sidelined Wednesday Okoro (toe) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Okoro's absence streak will extend to three games Wednesday while dealing with a right big toe sprain. While there is no timetable for Okoro's return, his next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Lakers.
APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE
Absence to continue Tuesday Okoro (toe) will be unavailable for Tuesday's game against Utah.
Impact Okoro will miss his second consecutive game due to right toe soreness, with his next opportunity to take the court coming Wednesday versus Phoenix. Caris LeVert is averaging 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 30.9 minutes across eight contests without Okoro this season.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Sunday Okoro (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Okoro has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game since Nov. 22. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Utah. In Okoro's absence, Georges Niang, Sam Merrill and Marcus Morris are candidates for a few extra minutes against the reigning champs.
MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable to face Denver Okoro is questionable to face the Nuggets on Sunday due to right toe soreness.
Impact Okoro scored two points across 15 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the 76ers, but it remains to be seen if he'll be available for Sunday's contest against the reigning NBA champions due to a toe injury. Okoro averages 9.9 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in March, but if he's out Sunday, his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions.
MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE
Retreats to bench Okoro isn't starting Friday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Okoro drew starts in his last 15 appearances, averaging 10.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 32.3 minutes per game during that time. However, he'll come off the bench Friday since Donovan Mitchell (nose) has been cleared to return.
MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE
Notches nine points Okoro finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 108-103 victory over the Pacers.
Impact Okoro has been logging significant minutes for the shorthanded Cavaliers, and his production has been solid for the most part. Through 10 March appearances, Okoro has averaged 12.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers.
MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE
Falls short offensively Okoro closed Monday's 117-111 loss to the Suns with 13 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and four steals across 39 minutes.
Impact Okoro's shot diet almost entirely consists of threes and attempts around the basket, so Monday's poor efficiency is disappointing. That being said, across 15 games with double-digit shot attempts this season, Okoro has shot under 45.0 percent on just five occasions, so his efficiency doesn't normally suffer when exceeding his typical 7.1 shots per game. He continues clamping as a defender, allowing opponents to shoot just 43.1 percent from the field, which ranks in the 91st percentile league-wide among qualifiers.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Tuesday Okoro is being listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics due to a sprained left elbow.
Impact Okoro must have tweaked his elbow while logging 34 minutes during Sunday's game, but we'll have a better idea on his status following Tuesday's shootaround. If he is forced to the sidelines, that could open up minutes for guys like Sam Merrill and Georges Niang.

Stuffs stat sheet Sunday Okoro closed Sunday's 107-98 loss to New York with 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes.
Impact Okoro started for the fourth time in Cleveland's last seven games, and he has scored in double digits in each of those appearances. Even though Okoro profiles best as an offensive weapon off the bench, the injuries affecting the Cavaliers -- and particularly Donovan Mitchell (knee) -- have forced Okoro into a more prominent role. He's responded well to the call and might remain a starter against the Celtics on Tuesday in case Mitchell is unable to return.
