Tyrese Proctor News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers

Not starting Monday Proctor won't start against the Hornets on Monday.

Impact With Donovan Mitchell (illness) back in action, Proctor will slide to the second unit Monday. The rookie second-rounder drew his first career start in Friday's loss to the Bulls, during which he posted 16 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes. However, he should see a significant decline in playing time with Mitchell, Craig Porter (illness) and Sam Merrill (hand) all having been cleared to play.

Hits for 16 in Friday's start Proctor supplied 16 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 136-125 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Making his first career NBA start with Donovan Mitchell (illness) sidelined, Proctor set a new personal best in rebounding while falling just short of setting a new season scoring high. The 2025 second-round pick hasn't yet earned a regular spot in the Cavaliers' backcourt rotation, but he's played at least 17 minutes in four of his last seven appearances dating back to Nov. 23 and scored in double digits three times during that span. With Sam Merrill (hand) and Max Strus (foot) on the shelf as well, there could be opportunities for Proctor if he wins the trust of coach Kenny Atkinson.

Starting Friday Proctor is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Bulls.

Impact Proctor is getting the first start of his career with Donovan Mitchell (illness) out, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Darius Garland, Jaylon Tyson, Dean Wade and Jarrett Allen. Proctor could be viewed as a low-end streamer in deep leagues for those seeking some points and triples.

DECEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to return Proctor (personal) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Proctor missed a pair of games while tending to a personal matter, but he'll be available off the bench for Friday's clash. He's averaging 7.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his last five appearances.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Saturday Proctor (personal) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Warriors.

Impact Proctor will miss his second straight game due to personal reasons Saturday, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Wizards. Proctor is not a large enough part of the rotation in Cleveland for his absence from the active roster to impact fantasy leagues.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Out for personal reasons Proctor is out for Friday's game against the Spurs for personal reasons.

Impact The rookie second-rounder will be away from the team for at least one contest. Proctor has a quick turnaround if he wants to rejoin Cleveland for Saturday's showdown with the Warriors. With Darius Garland getting the night off Friday, Craig Porter could see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in deeper formats.

Puts up 12 off bench in win Proctor provided 12 points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Monday's 135-119 victory over Indiana.

Impact Proctor has now strung together four consecutive performances of scoring at least eight points, and has stepped up when necessary in the absences of Darius Garland (rest) and Lonzo Ball (illness). While both are expected to return soon, Proctor will continue to back up Donovan Mitchell until one of the aforementioned get healthy.

DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Cavaliers must silence concerns over alarming Tyrese Proctor trend Despite the return of Darius Garland and emergence of a deep backcourt, Cleveland must find a way to get Tyrese Proctor on the floor.

DECEMBER 1 • KINGJAMESGOSPEL.COM

Productive line off bench Proctor provided 11 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 17 minutes during Sunday's 120-105 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Proctor has scored in double digits three times this season, but the former Duke has been inconsistent with his game-to-game contributions. As long as he continues to play under 20 minutes on a steady basis, he's not going to carry a lot of fantasy upside, particularly when Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland are both healthy and available.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 12 off bench in win Proctor finished with 12 points (4-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 win over Miami.

Impact Proctor logged his second double-digit scoring performance of the season Wednesday, but it was not an efficient outing by any means, shooting 26.7 percent from the field and 25 percent from three. With Darius Garland (toe), Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Evan Mobley (rest) all out Wednesday, Proctor saw increased playing time, but his role will likely revert once they come back.

Knocks down triple in win Proctor scored three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and added two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 10 minutes in Monday's 116-95 win over Detroit.

Impact Proctor has not been able to find himself a consistent role within Cleveland's rotation, as he is behind the likes of Sam Merrill, Lonzo Ball and Craig Porter. However, in the event of a backcourt injury, Proctor would be first in line to slide up the depth chart and inherit more minutes.

Won't start Tuesday Proctor won't start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons.

Impact With Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Sam Merrill (undisclosed) returning to action, Proctor will retreat to the bench. The Duke product drew the start in Sunday's preseason loss to the Celtics, posting 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 12 in start Proctor produced 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one steal and three turnovers in 28 minutes of Sunday's 138-107 preseason loss to Boston.

Impact Proctor drew the start Sunday with the Cavaliers sitting several key players. The No. 49 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Proctor was dominant in the Summer League and has carried that momentum over into the preseason. He's making a strong case to be considered in the rotation for Opening Night, but he still has a lot of work to do.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Proctor will start Sunday's preseason game against the Celtics.

Impact With many usual starters seemingly getting the night off, Proctor will enter the starting lineup. Proctor has averaged 10.5 points and 3.0 assists in 10.5 minutes per game through two preseason appearances and should see a sizeable uptick in minutes Sunday.
