Osman (lower back) is listed as questionable for Friday's exhibition contest against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has played in three out of four of the Cavaliers' preseason contests and is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Pacers. Osman is expected to be utilized off of the bench for the second straight season in Cleveland during this upcoming season.

Osman recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 14 minutes Wednesday during a 99-96 preseason win at Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Osman's 14 game minutes were relatively low among the Cavs bench players Wednesday. The small tally was not surprising, as they expect him to be a fringe bench option behind multiple sixth-man candidates. Osman's best chance of game time remains while being their backup shooting guard for Collin Sexton.

Osman tweaked his ankle in Dallas on Friday and was subsequently held out of Sunday's rematch in Cleveland. He'll remain out as the Cavs play on the second half of a back-to-back set. Damyean Dotson, Brodric Thomas and Jeremiah Martin could all benefit with Osman -- in addition to several other regulars -- out Monday.

Osman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Osman hasn't missed a game in about two weeks, but he's uncertain for Sunday due to soreness in his right ankle. He's coming off a 22-point outing in his last appearance Friday.

Osman had 22 points (8-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and a steal across 36 minutes in Friday's loss at Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Osman might have struggled from deep in this game, but he still ended as one of two Cleveland players that finished with 20-plus points. The Turkish forward has been starting in place of Darius Garland (ankle) and has been effective in recent weeks, starting all but one of his last eight games and averaging 15.6 points per tilt in that span.
