Good to go for Game 3 Hunter (thumb) is available for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Hunter has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing Game 2 due to a dislocated right thumb. Hunter should continue to operate as one of Cleveland's primary bench options against Indiana.

Impact Hunter sat out Cleveland's Game 2 loss after dislocating his right thumb. He appears to be on track to suit up for Game 3, but his official availability, along with the statuses of Darius Garland (toe) and Evan Mobley (ankle), likely won't be released until closer to tipoff.

Iffy for Game 3 Hunter (thumb) is considered questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

Impact Hunter is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to a dislocated right thumb he suffered in Game 1. If Hunter is ruled out yet again, Dean Wade, Javonte Green and Isaac Okoro should continue to receive increased playing time against Indiana.

Not playing Game 2 Hunter (thumb) has been ruled out for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pacers on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Hunter dislocated his thumb during the Cavs' Game 1 loss Saturday and will not play in Game 2 as a result. He's been a key piece of Cleveland's rotation since being traded by Atlanta in February, so his absence gives Isaac Okoro, Javonte Green and Dean Wade the opportunity to see increased workloads off the bench. Hunter's next chance to take the floor is Game 3 on Friday in Indiana.

Iffy for Game 2 Hunter (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.

Impact Hunter is dealing with a dislocated finger on his right hand, which could keep him sidelined for Game 2. The Virginia product played 30 minutes off the bench in Game 1, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds and an assist. If he cannot play Tuesday, Cleveland will likely lean on Isaac Okoro and Javonte Green to help shoulder the load.

Impact Hunter made the most of his time on the court, tallying 19 points in just 21 minutes. In one of the most lopsided wins in recent playoff history, Cleveland took control early and never relinquished their sizeable lead.

Impact The Cavs were missing Darius Garland (toe) and took a 22-point lead into halftime, factors which allowed Hunter to see his largest workload and usage of the playoffs so far. The 27-year-old wing had managed only 12 total points in the first two games of the series, so a repeat performance can't necessarily be counted on, but Hunter has at least shown he's ready if needed. Cleveland will look to complete the sweep in Game 4 on Monday.
