Remins day-to-day Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Okoro (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice and remains day-to-day, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Impact Okoro missed six straight games to end the regular season due to left knee soreness. Per Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland, the shooting guard was spotted wearing a sleeve on his knee and did some post-practice shooting after being limited to the non-contract parts of Wednesday's session, but Okoro's official injury designation for Saturday's Game 1 matchup against the Knicks likely won't be released until Friday.

Won't return Sunday Okoro won't return to Sunday's game against Houston due to left knee soreness, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Okoro started Sunday's matchup and tallied four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and a rebound in nine minutes prior to departing in the first half. It's unclear whether his knee issue will prevent him from playing Tuesday in Atlanta.

Drains game-winning shot Okoro finished with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 30 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Okoro found himself being the hero for the Cavaliers in this thrilling victory, as he drained the game-winning three from the corner with only 0.7 seconds left on the clock. Game-winning shot aside, Okoro was efficient from the field but didn't do much outside of scoring. Considering he has scored in double digits just three times since the beginning of the month (11 games), Okoro doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats.

Efficient from field in loss Okoro chipped in 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 119-115 loss to Miami.

Impact Okoro has been playing well recently, answering the call of late in Cleveland's pursuit of a reliable starting small forward. Okoro has scored double digits in back-to-back games, a feat he hadn't accomplished since early February, and he's been a major contributor on the defensive end as well, racking up seven steals over the last four games.

Reaches double digits Okoro notched 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 104-100 victory over the Heat.

Impact Okoro got hot from three and reached double-digit points for the first time since Feb. 6. He's in Cleveland's starting five for defense, and he continues to supply solid numbers on that side of the ball. Since Feb. 1, he's averaging 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks in 24.9 minutes, plus 8.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
