Cleveland Cavaliers injury report
Injury/Illness - Right Ankle Sprain (2026-11-06, PHI@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-05): Tyson (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the 76ers. Tyson continues to recover from a sprained ankle. Until he's cleared to retake the floor, Mario Hezonja and Meleek Thomas should continue to play meaningful roles off the bench for the Cavaliers.
Expected back 7 Nov
G League - On Assignment (2026-11-06, PHI@CLE).
Injury/Illness - Low Back Stress Reaction (2026-11-06, PHI@CLE).
G League - Two-Way (2026-11-06, PHI@CLE).
Injury/Illness - Right Hamstring Injury Management (2026-11-06, PHI@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-05): Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers. Watson has missed his team's last two matchups due to a hamstring issue, and he's in danger of missing a third Friday. More information on his availability should come to light as tipoff nears.
Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Sprain (2026-11-06, PHI@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-05): Proctor (ankle) is questionable to play in Friday's game against the 76ers. Proctor sprained his left ankle in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Thunder and did not return. The 22-year-old is one of several Cavaliers currently dealing with an injury, as Jaylon Tyson (ankle), Peyton Watson (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (knee) are all banged up. Proctor's next chance to play comes Saturday against the Knicks on the second leg of Cleveland's back-to-back set.
Injury/Illness - Right Knee Contusion (2026-11-06, PHI@CLE). Prior reporting (2026-11-05): Allen (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Philadelphia. Allen picked up a right knee injury during Wednesday's clash against the Thunder and failed to return. He'll presumably be monitored closely leading up to tipoff to determine if he can take the court Friday night.
New York Knicks injury report
Hart is out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to right ankle soreness. Hart is sitting out for the first time this season, though he doesn't sound to be battling a significant issue. With Hart sidelined, fantasy managers can expect either Landry Shamet or Miles McBride to step into the starting lineup for the Knicks on Wednesday.
