4 years agoCleveland Cavaliers small forward Isaac Okoro (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, not making the start of the road trip alongside his teammates. The fact that Okoro is dealing with the league's COVID-19 protocols in addition to a foot injury does not bode well for his prospects of suiting up in the near future. Cleveland will play each of its next six games on the road over the coming 10 days, which could become a considerable absence for the No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft if he is not cleared. Cedi Osman started at the small forward slot Tuesday and figures to do so while Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) remains out of the equation. Check back for updates on Okoro's status as they become available.--Jesse Borek
