Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Out for personal reasons
Rotowire
Proctor is out for Friday's game against the Spurs for personal reasons.
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.

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.

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.
