Cavaliers, Timberwolves Swap Key Players in Proposed Trade The Cleveland Cavaliers don't exactly have a ton of holes in the lead up to the NBA trade deadline, but one area they could stand to address...
Ty Jerome - Questionable with illness Jerome (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Jerome is at risk of missing his third straight game with an illness, but he'll presumably see how he feels Thursday before the Cavaliers update his status. Should the 27-year-old sharpshooter sit out another contest, veteran swingman Caris LeVert should continue operating as Cleveland's clear-cut sixth man off the bench against Oklahoma City.

Tyrese Haliburton - Questionable for Thursday Haliburton (groin) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
Impact Haliburton is in danger of missing a second straight game with a groin strain. The 24-year-old has only missed one game this season for the Pacers, but this latest injury could keep him sidelined for Thursday's game in Detroit and beyond. Ben Sheppard may replace him in the starting lineup once again if he's unable to play against the Pistons.

Aaron Nesmith - Upgraded to questionable Nesmith (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.
Impact Although Nesmith hasn't suited up for the Pacers since a Nov. 1 loss to New Orleans due to a left ankle sprain, his questionable designation is a sign that he's closing in on a return. If the 25-year-old remains on the shelf against Detroit, 2023 first-rounder Ben Sheppard should continue handling a significant role in Indiana's rotation.

T.J. McConnell - Hands out eight assists McConnell finished Tuesday's 127-117 loss to the Cavaliers with 10 points (5-11 FG), one rebound, eight assists and one steal over 21 minutes.
Impact With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined, Ben Sheppard moved into the starting lineup, but McConnell is likely to offer for more streaming upside if Indiana's franchise player misses more time -- coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that Haliburton is day-to-day. McConnell has been a reliable playmaker for the Pacers this season with 4.5 assists in 19.3 minutes per game across 40 regular-season appearances.
