Cleveland Cavaliers News and Rumors - NBA

Chelsea Gray - Season-high 12 assists Saturday Gray registered 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), 12 assists, one rebound and one steal over 28 minutes in Saturday's 106-58 win over the Mercury.

Impact Gray and three other Aces starters sat for the entire fourth quarter as the team entered the frame up 43 points, but the veteran guard still set a season high with 12 dimes for her third double-double of the season and first since June 2 against the Sparks. Gray is averaging 12.4 points, 7.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 33.1 minutes per game this season.

Justine Pissott - Takes advantage of garbage time Pissott recorded 19 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes in Saturday's 106-58 win over the Mercury on Satruday.

Impact The Aces built up a massive lead over the first three quarters, which prompted head coach Becky Hammon to bring Pissott in for what was officially her WNBA regular-season debut. It was garbage time in the fourth frame, but that didn't matter to Pissott, who ended up leading the Aces with five triples and finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind A'ja Wilson (21 points). Pissott signed an offer sheet with the Aces after initially signing a developmental contract with the Fever, and perhaps Saturday's scoring outburst is enough for her to see some consistent minutes off Las Vegas' bench moving forward.

A'ja Wilson - Double-doubles in win Wilson finished Saturday's 106-58 win over the Mercury with 21 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes.

Impact It was a dominant performance from Wilson and the Aces on Saturday, with the 48-point margin of victory being tied for the third-largest in WNBA history. That led to Wilson and three other starters playing 25 minutes or less, but the four-time MVP still tied a season high in rebounds en route to her 11th double-double of the season. She is averaging 25.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 steals over 31.7 minutes per game while connecting on 52.3 percent of her field-goal attempts this season.

Ta'Niya Latson - Not active Saturday Latson (coach's decision) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mercury.

Impact Latson will have to wait at least one more game to make her debut with the Aces after signing a player development contract with the team Wednesday. That opportunity could come as Sunday against the Fever in what will be the second leg of a back-to-back set.

10 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Dana Evans - Officially ruled out Saturday Evans (leg) is listed as out for Saturday's game versus the Mercury.

Impact Head coach Becky Hammon already indicated that Evans likely wouldn't be available for this contest, so her absence is not much of a surprise. Evans next opportunity to make her 2026 campaign debut will come Sunday against Indiana.

10 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jackie Young - Will play Saturday Young (illness) will play in Saturday's game against the Mercury.

Impact Young was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, and head coach Becky Hammon said pregame she was "doubtful" to play. However, the star wing will give it a go in the front end of this back-to-back set.

Dana Evans - Likely won't play Saturday Evans (leg) isn't expected to suit up for Saturday's game versus Phoenix, Nekias Duncan of Yahoo reports.

Impact Evans hasn't played this season. Although she is seemingly nearing a return, it likely won't happen Saturday. The 27-year-old is still listed as questionable, but if she is officially ruled out, her next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday versus the fever.

Janiah Barker - Remains out indefinitely Head coach Becky Hammon said Saturday that she expects a long-term absence for Barker (leg), Nekias Duncan of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact Barker has yet to make her 2026 regular-season debut, and she's set to miss a 12th consecutive contest Saturday due to a right knee injury. She can be considered week-to-week until the Aces offer another update on her status.

11 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jackie Young - Unlikely to play Saturday Aces head coach Becky Hammon told reporters that Young (illness) is "doubtful" for Saturday's game against the Mercury, Nekias Duncan of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact Young popped up on the injury report due to an illness, and it looks like the ailment will prevent her from suiting up for Saturday's contest. If Young is indeed ruled out, then Kierstan Bell, Brianna Turner and Jewell Lloyd would all be in line for additional minutes against Phoenix.

Malaki Branham - Plays well Friday Branham finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 22 minutes in Friday's 99-93 Summer League loss to Indiana.

Impact Branham spent the bulk of his career with the Spurs before last suiting up for the Wizards during the 2025-26 campaign. In 216 regular-season appearances with San Antonio and Washington, the 2022 No. 20 overall pick averaged 8.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.4 steals over 17.8 minutes of work. Branham could find a spot on an NBA roster at some point moving ahead, though it might be a while before he earns routine minutes for a club.

Ta'Niya Latson - Not listed on injury report Latson (coach's decision) isn't currently on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Mercury.

Impact Latson could still be added to the injury report before Saturday's tipoff. She's appeared in 10 games for the Aces this season, and because she's on a developmental contract, she can suit up just two more times.

Justine Pissott - Off injury report Pissott (not with team) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Mercury.

Impact Pissott signed with the Aces on Tuesday but wasn't with the team for Thursday's win over Portland. However, she's set to be available to make her WNBA debut Saturday.

Dana Evans - Questionable for Saturday Evans (leg) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mercury.

Impact This is the first time that Evans has been listed as questionable this season, which indicates significant progress. If she's cleared to make her debut Saturday, expect some heavy minutes restrictions.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin - Ties for game-high 20 points Tomlin finished with 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 29 minutes in Friday's 99-93 Summer League loss to Indiana.

Impact Tomlin tied Meleek Thomas with a game-high 20 points Friday, though it wasn't enough to result in a win for the Cavaliers, who are now 0-1 to begin Summer League. Tomlin appeared in 64 regular-season games for Cleveland during the 2025-26 campaign. While the 25-year-old wasn't a routine contributor, he had more than a few productive outings, averaging 16.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 24.7 minutes in three starts. Tomlin might not suit up for Cleveland for the entirety of the team's time in Las Vegas. However, he may have already done enough to secure the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Evan Mobley, especially with Dean Wade now in Philadelphia.
