While he remains intent on playing through the issue, the Cavaliers may choose to be cautious with their star point guard to ensure the injury doesn't linger. Donovan Mitchell (groin) has already been ruled out, so the Cavaliers will continue to lean on Dennis Schroder, Sam Merrill and Craig Porter to handle increased roles in the backcourt if Harden is unable to suit up.
