3 years agoCleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Cedi Osman (back) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Wizards due to persistent lower back soreness. Osman's absence has now climbed to three games and five of the Cavs' last seven, paving the way for Lamar Stevens to rejoin the rotation and for other members of the wing to see elevated offensive workloads. After a slow start to the season, Osman caught fire in November, shooting 43.2 percent from behind the arc en route to averaging 13.5 points per game. His next chance to get back into action comes Sunday vs. Utah.--Jesse Borek
