Forwards Jaylon Tyson (left great toe sprain) and Dean Wade (right ankle sprain) won’t travel with the Cavaliers on their three-game road trip, the team announced (via Twitter).
Cleveland plays at Utah on Monday, at the Lakers on Tuesday, and at Golden State on Thursday before returning home ahead of next Sunday’s contest vs. Indiana. That game against the Pacers is the first of a back-to-back — the Cavs play at Memphis next Monday, April 6.
Both players will stay in Cleveland for treatment and rehabilitation, per the team.
Tyson, a 2024 first-round pick who is having a strong second season for the Cavs, suffered the toe injury in a March 19 victory in Chicago. He has missed the last four games with the injury and will miss at least three more.
Wade, who is extension-eligible ahead of unrestricted free agency this summer, has been sidelined the past two games due to the ankle injury, which he sustained last Tuesday vs. Orlando. He’ll be at five consecutive absences once Cleveland’s road trip concludes.
The Cavs are currently 46-28, the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Jaylon Tyson is a good player. He could be an eventual starter at the 2 for a good team. Watching him in college he was one of the best players in the PAC12 but I wasn’t sure how his dominant college game would translate to the league. He’s not a quick player, and doesn’t have a long wingspan, but he’s got a great mindset and he can shoot it. Despite his deficits he will not get targeted on D. He should have a long career.
