Erupts for 32 points in loss Mitchell finished with 32 points (11-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Mitchell helped his team get out to an impressive 24-point lead at the half, but Philly emerged a different team out of the locker room to begin the third quarter. Despite a tough second half, the star guard managed to stuff the stat sheet. Mitchell led the Cavs in scoring and rebounding, resulting in a double-double in his first action of the 2026-27 season.

Good to go for season opener Allen (knee) is active for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Despite carrying a questionable tag leading up to Cleveland's regular-season opener in Philadelphia, Allen will indeed suit up. The Cavaliers' starting center could be on a soft minutes restriction given his history with the lingering knee issue. Evan Mobley, Thomas Bryant, Peyton Watson and Jaylon Tyson would likely benefit from any vacated minutes.

Expects to play Thursday Allen (knee) said he expects to play Thursday against the 76ers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Allen is listed as questionable on the latest injury report. He was able to get some shots up Thursday morning, however, and it sounds like he intends to push through the minor injury. The Cavaliers may keep a close eye on his minutes if he's cleared to suit up.

Not listed on injury report Merrill (elbow) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener in Philadelphia.

Impact Merrill skipped Cleveland's preseason finale due to some soreness in his shooting elbow, but he's been fully cleared for Opening Night. Merrill will be battling Jaylon Tyson and Mario Hezonja for reserve minutes on the wings this season.

Out for Thursday Diop (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Diop will be held out of Thursday's regular-season opener due to left knee injury management. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Nets.

Questionable versus Philadelphia Allen (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Allen is in danger of missing the Cavaliers' first game of the 2026-27 campaign. If Allen can't suit up, Evan Mobley would presumably slide to the five, with Jaylon Tyson the favorite to move into the starting lineup.

Practices fully Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Tuesday that Merrill (elbow) went through a full practice, per Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland.

Impact It sounds like Merrill is progressing well from an elbow injury. The Cavaliers are likely to release their first injury report Wednesday, and Merrill can be tentatively deemed questionable for Thursday's season opener against the Heat in the meantime.

Team option picked up The Cavaliers have exercised Tyson's fourth-year rookie-scale team option for the 2027-28 season, the team announced Tuesday.

Impact Tyson enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign in 2025-26, averaging 13.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 steals in 26.9 minutes across 66 regular-season appearances (42 starts). The 23-year-old wing shot an impressive 44.6 percent from three-point range, the fourth-best mark in the NBA, and recorded eight games with at least 20 points, including a career-high 39 against Philadelphia on Jan. 16. Tyson's emergence as a reliable perimeter threat should keep him firmly in Cleveland's rotation entering his third season.

Set to miss several weeks Tomlin is set to miss several weeks with a lower back stress reaction, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact This is a tough blow for the forward and there's no guarantee he's cleared right away when he's re-evaluated in three-to-four weeks. Tomlin wasn't projected to crack the rotation ahead of Opening Night and was penciled in to be an emergency depth option.

Not scrimmaging Saturday Merrill (elbow) isn't participating in Saturday's scrimmage, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

Impact Merrill was held out of Tuesday's preseason finale due to right elbow soreness and won't scrimmage Saturday. He can be considered questionable for Thursday's regular-season opener against the 76ers until the Cavaliers provide an update on his status.
