1 Nik Stauskas SG

Stauskas (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

Stauskas missed Sunday's matchup against the Spurs due to a bruised back, and his status remains up in the air for Cleveland's final regular-season game. The Cavs should have a better idea of his availability closer to tipoff.

Stauskas (back) will be inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Spurs, Spencer Davies reports.

Stauskas reportedly suffered a lower back bruised during Friday's game against the Warriors and the injury will indeed keep him sidelined for Sunday's matchup. It will be Stauskas' first missed game since Feb. 21.

Stauskas is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Spurs due to a lower back bruise.

Stauskas has emerged from Friday's loss with an injury, and it's unclear if he'll play Sunday. That said, his absence wouldn't change much for the Cavs, as he's seeing only 11.9 minutes per game across the past nine.

Stauskas produced 17 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Monday's 126-119 victory over the Pistons.

Stauskas has done next to nothing on the Cavs so far, making Monday's performance more of an outlier than anything else. He should see just about 20 minutes per game, although maybe his shooting performance will open a door to more minutes going forward.

Stauskas (not injury related) finished with three points (1-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five rebounds, an assist and a block in 20 minutes Monday against the Knicks.

Stauskas made his first appearance in a Cavs uniform since the trade, and despite his poor shooting day, he saw a solid chunk of minutes in a 107-104 victory. If this first game is any indication, the Michigan product could be in store for a bigger role off the bench than initially expected.
