Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Rare appearance in loss
Rotowire
Proctor totaled two points (2-2 FT) in three minutes during Thursday's 126-104 loss to the Raptors in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Proctor was back in the rotation, albeit during garbage-time only. Despite a couple of bright spots throughout his rookie season, Proctor has been mostly a non-factor. Given that he failed to leave the bench during the first two games in the series, Proctor is unlikely to feature heavily moving forward.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: First career double-double
Rotowire
Proctor notched 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 130-117 win over the Wizards.
With Cleveland sitting basically its entire starting five, Proctor moved into a sizeable role, recording the first double-double of his young career. However, while this was a strong performance, it is unlikely we will see much of him during the playoffs, given that he has appeared in only 50 games thus far.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Sniffs triple-double in win
Rotowire
Proctor posted 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 35 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 130-117 win over the Wizards.
With Cleveland sitting several key contributors in Sunday's regular-season finale, Proctor made the most of his career-high 35 minutes. The rookie second-rounder turned in an efficient performance and finished as Cleveland's second-leading scorer with a career-best 22 points. The Duke product also supplied team- and career-high marks in both rebounds and assists en route to his first career double-double.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Chips in 10 points off bench
Rotowire
Proctor registered 10 points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies.
Proctor saw his largest workload since returning from a quadriceps strain in March, though that likely had more to do with the lopsided score Monday. The guard has averaged 5.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 10.4 minutes per tilt in his last six games.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Scoreless in six minutes
Rotowire
Proctor racked up zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and two steals across six minutes during Wednesday's 120-103 loss to the Heat.
Proctor had missed eight straight games from March 8 through March 21 due to a right quadriceps strain, but he was cleared to play in advance of Tuesday's 136-131 win over the Magic. He wasn't used in that contest, but the Cavaliers were able to open up a small role in the rotation for Proctor on Wednesday while Jarrett Allen (knee), Craig Porter (groin), Max Strus (foot), Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) were sidelined. The Cavaliers should get at least one of those players back for Friday's game against the Heat, so Proctor will likely be in danger of falling back outside of the rotation.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Proctor (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Proctor will be available off the bench for the first time since Feb. 27, though it remains to be seen if he'll be called upon given his current place in the rotation. He's averaging 4.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 10.4 minutes over 42 games so far this season.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Upgraded to probable
Rotowire
Proctor (quadriceps) is probable for Tuesday's game against Orlando.
Proctor was previously listed as questionable. He's been sidelined since Feb. 27 with his quadriceps strain, but he could be available as an emergency depth option off the bench Tuesday.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Could play Tuesday
Rotowire
Proctor (quadriceps) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando.
Proctor hasn't seen NBA action since Feb. 27 while dealing with a right quadriceps strain, though a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's contest gives him a chance to return. In 42 appearances this season, the rookie guard is averaging just 10.4 minutes per game, so even if he's available against Orlando, there's no guarantee he'll be part of Cleveland's rotation or see meaningful minutes.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Ruled out for Wednesday

Proctor is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic with a right quadriceps strain.
Proctor will be sidelined for a third consecutive contest with the strain. His next chance to return comes Friday, when the Cavaliers face the Mavericks in Dallas.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Nursing quad strain
Rotowire
Proctor has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Boston due to a right quadriceps strain.
It's unclear when Proctor picked up the injury, given that he was a healthy DNP for Tuesday's game against the Pistons. The rookie second-rounder has seen inconsistent playing time off the Cavaliers' bench this season, but his absence will result in more minutes being available for Keon Ellis and Craig Porter.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Available Monday
Rotowire
Proctor (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Proctor was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness but will suit up Monday. Despite being available, the Duke product isn't a staple of the Cavaliers' rotation and isn't guaranteed significant playing time against the Nuggets.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Starting Friday
Rotowire
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.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Puts up 12 off bench in win
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). While both are expected to return soon, Proctor will continue to back up Donovan Mitchell until Garland or Ball returns to action.

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.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Won't start Tuesday
Rotowire
Proctor won't start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons.
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.

Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Scores 12 in start
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.
