Windler (hamstring/ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday marks just the second time this season Windler has been active. Injuries have taken a toll on his career, as the 26th overall pick out of Belmont in 2019 has appeared in just 81 total games (972 minutes). He's not expected to hold a significant role in the Cavaliers' rotation, with the team now highly competitive. Ultimately, staying on the court and providing value in limited action will be the goal for the 6-foot-6, 196-pound wing.

Windler (ankle/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Windler has spent the entire season rehabbing an ankle sprain and, more recently, a hamstring injury but will have a chance to play in Saturday's game. Although it would be unlikely that Windler can give it a go, he would undoubtedly be under a heavy minutes restriction if active. Regardless, the questionable status is an encouraging sign for the 26-year-old wing.

Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Monday that Windler, who had been rehabbing a right ankle sprain, is making progress while he now rehabs a hamstring injury and is expected to play at some point this season, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Windler has yet to suit up this season while recovering from the ankle injury he sustained during a practice in training camp. Though Amico notes Windler has healed up from the ankle sprain, the 26-year-old is still without a timeline to make his season debut while he works through the hamstring injury he picked up while rehabbing the ankle issue. Windler has struggled to stay healthy since entering the NBA as a first-round pick in 2019 and has appeared in only 81 games through his first four years in the league. Given his injury history, the Cavaliers have little incentive to rush Windler back, considering he's not a lock to be included in the rotation even when healthy. While Bickerstaff expressed optimism about him playing at some point this season, Windler's debut presumably won't come anytime soon and will likely be signaled by a return to 5-on-5 practice and/or an assignment to the G League's Cleveland Charge.
