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

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

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Out for Saturday
Rotowire
Proctor (personal) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Warriors.
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. The rookie is not a large enough part of the rotation in Cleveland for his absence from the active roster to impact fantasy leagues.

Rotowire
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.
Proctor has now strung together four consecutive performances of scoring at least eight points, stepping up when necessary in the absence of Darius Garland (rest) and Lonzo Ball (illness).

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Knocks down triple in win
Rotowire
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.
Proctor has not been able to find himself a consistent role within Cleveland's rotation, as he is behind the likes of Sam Merrill (hip), Lonzo Ball (rest) 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, which was the case Monday with Merrill leaving the contest early and Ball resting.

Rotowire
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.
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.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Joins Cleveland
Rotowire
Proctor was selected by the Cavaliers with the No. 49 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Proctor's counting stats -- 12.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 38 games -- weren't eye-popping, but his efficiency (45.2 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from three) and leadership made him a key glue guy for Duke. Though he's undersized and lacks top-tier athleticism, Proctor's shooting ability gives him a clear path to carving out a role at the next level.
