Frye played seven minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 124-97 loss to the Hornets, finishing with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one turnover and no other statistics.
EDGE Analysis
Frye announced in March that this would be his last season in the NBA, so the Cavaliers included him in the rotation for their final two contests as a token of appreciation. Since he's on an expiring deal, Frye's retirement will become official at the close of the league year this summer. The 35-year-old wraps up his 13-year career with averages of 8.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.0 assist in 22.2 minutes per game across 890 regular-season appearances with the Knicks, Trail Blazers, Suns, Magic, Lakers and Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis
Frye is seeing only 9.5 minutes per game across 29 appearances this season, and it's the first time he's averaged single-digit minutes. The former eighth overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, Frye won an NBA Championship in 2015-16 with the LeBron-led Cavaliers.

Frye did not see the floor during Saturday's 112-107 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Frye has earned a grand total of 10 minutes across his last four appearances while not seeing the floor in seven of the last 11 games. The recent return of Kevin Love has buried Frye on the depth chart. Moreover, Tristan Thompson (foot) still hasn't rejoined the rotation and has been out for over a month now. At this point, Frye can be avoided across all formats.

Frye will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of Basketball Insiders reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ante Zizic is moving into the starting five in an attempt to slow down Joel Embiid. Frye has drawn the previous two starts with Tristan Thompson injured. Frye's averaging 14.5 minutes in those two starts, so he could still see a similar role.

Frye will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
The prevailing belief was that Larry Nance would be the natural choice to take over in the absence of Tristan Thompson, but Larry Drew will instead go with Frye, who's played double-digit minutes just once all season.

Frye may start Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Spencer Davies of Basketball Insiders reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Cavs initially listed Larry Nance as the starter, but there are now reports that they've pivoted to Frye, which would be a surprise given his reduced role this season. If that's the case and Nance is healthy, the latter would still likely see the bulk of the minutes at the five.
