Making first career start Tyson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact The Cavaliers are thin in terms of their wing depth and will give the rookie the first start of his career. Tyson will play alongside Ty Jerome, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. The rookie out of California only averages 4.3 minutes per game in six outings this season, but he's bound to experience an uptick in his minutes in this contest.

Plays at tail end of blowout Tyson (hip) played the final 3:26 of Friday's 136-117 win over the Warriors, missing both of his field-goal attempts and committing a turnover during his time on the court.

Impact The rookie first-round pick made his first appearance for the Cavaliers since missing the team's first three games of the month due to a hip injury. Tyson remains firmly outside of head coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation and could be a candidate to head to the G League's Cleveland Charge if playing time remains hard to come by at the NBA level.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Tyson (hip) has been cleared for Wednesday's game versus New Orleans, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

Impact Tyson and Caris LeVert (knee) will both be available Wednesday, leaving Dean Wade (illness) and Max Strus (hip) as the only absences on Cleveland's roster. Tyson will return from a three-game absence, although he has compiled just 21 minutes of action in four appearances.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Wednesday Tyson (hip) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Pelicans.

Impact Tyson has been dealing with a left hip sprain, and while the questionable tag leaves the door open for a potential return, it's worth noting Tyson hasn't played since Oct. 30. The rookie has been limited to just four appearances off the bench this season, so he shouldn't have a lot of upside in fantasy even if healthy.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Tyson (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Tyson will miss a third straight game due to left hip tightness. He's yet to play more than eight minutes in a game this season, so his ongoing absence shouldn't impact Cleveland's rotation.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Another absence coming Tyson (hip) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Tyson will miss his second straight contest due to left hip tightness. However, his absence won't significantly impact Cleveland's rotation.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Friday Tyson is out for Friday's game versus the Magic due to left hip tightness.

Impact Despite not appearing on the injury report all day, Tyson is a late scratch for Friday's contest. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Milwaukee.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Garbage time appearance Tyson closed Friday's 113-101 victory over the Pistons with no counting stats in one minute.

Impact Tyson showed his face in the win, breaking into the rotation as the clock expired. The Cavaliers are once again pushing to be a competitive team in the Eastern Conference, meaning Tyson is unlikely to see too much court time. There are no fantasy moves to be made here.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Wednesday Tyson is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason contest versus Detroit.

Impact Tyson gives way to Caris LeVert in Wednesday's starting lineup. The rookie figures to factor prominently into the wing rotation, however, as Sam Merrill (wrist) and Max Strus (hip) are inactive.

Stuffs stat sheet Thursday Tyson posted 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block across 29 minutes in Thursday's 129-117 preseason loss to the Pacers.

Impact The rookie out of Cal was selected with the 20th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, and he could have a role off the bench -- albeit minimal -- if he cracks the Opening Night roster. He'll be a solid depth piece in the rotation, but he's not expected to have much of a role, thus being an afterthought in most fantasy formats.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Pacers Tyson is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers.

Impact The Cavaliers are resting most of their regulars for this contest, and Tyson will get the nod in the backcourt alongside Ty Jerome since both Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland will be rested.

Nets 21 points on nine shots Tyson scored 21 points during Thursday's exhibition loss to the Lakers, adding 11 rebounds, nine assists, one three-pointer, two steals and two turnovers across 32 minutes.

Impact Tyson was coming off a 2-of-6 shooting performance, but he got things back on track in this one, finishing 6-of-9 from the field and 8-of-9 at the stripe. Overall, Tyson has looked pretty good in Las Vegas, so it'll be interesting to see if the 21-year-old can immediately earn a sizable role in Cleveland. He'll be someone to keep an eye on over training camp and the preseason.
