The Cleveland Cavaliers traded for Lonzo Ball in the offseason to add a quality point guard to their rotation. It has taken less than half a season for Ball to have fallen entirely out of the rotation.

Just an hour before tipoff, the Cavs added De’Andre Hunter to the injury report with an illness that has been matriculating through the locker room, leaving the team without one of its key wings for Wednesday night’s matchup against the Phoenix Suns.

Phoenix Suns are six games above .500 for the first time since Nov. 6, 2024 when they started the 2024-25 season 7-1.

Mobley’s been flexing his defensive muscles over his last two games. He had 3 blocks against San Antonio and added 5 more tonight. Having the Defensive Player of the Year ramping back up is a blessing for this team that had previously been faltering defensively.

Small forward Max Strus, who has been sidelined the last four months following offseason surgery to repair a Jones fracture (fifth metatarsal) in his left foot, has not yet started practicing.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland reportedly isn't available on the trade block at this time, Jake Fischer wrote for the Stein Line newsletter on Saturday.

De'Aaron Fox is still on the injury report after missing the last game with left adductor tightness and an illness.
