Nwaba (ankle) participated in practice again Friday but has no timetable for a return, Spencer Davies of Basketball Insiders reports.
EDGE Analysis
While practicing in back-to-back days is certainly encouraging for Nwaba, it appears he is still a ways away from returning to game action. Nwaba has been sidelined with a sprained left ankle for a little over a month now.

Nwaba (ankle) practiced Thursday, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A sprained left ankle has kept Nwaba on the sidelines since the day after Christmas, though it seems he's close to a return. In 21 games for the Cavs this season, Nwaba has averaged 6.0 points and 2.8 rebounds with a 51.7 true shooting percentage. He should tentatively be considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Mavericks.

Nwaba (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Unsurprisingly, Nwaba will be unavailable for the 18th straight game while he continues to make limited progress in his recovery from the sprained left ankle. After Tuesday, the Cavaliers will have an extended break before returning to action Saturday against the Mavericks, but there's been no indication from the team that Nwaba will be ready to go for that game.

Nwaba (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nwaba is set to miss a 17th consecutive game as he continues to work his way back from a left ankle sprain. The Cavaliers haven't provided a timetable for his return, so he'll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis, with his next chance to return coming Tuesday against the Wizards.

Nwaba (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
It's the 16th straight absence for Nwaba, who has now been sidelined for just over a month with the sprained left ankle. Though the Cavaliers have been evaluating Nwaba's availability on a game-to-game basis rather than offering a firm target date for his return, there's little evidence that the swingman is especially close to a return. Prior to getting hurt, Nwaba had been starting for the Cavaliers, but it's unclear if he'll be handed a top-unit role once he's ready to go after the extended time off.

Nwaba (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
One of five Cavaliers players ruled out due to injury, Nwaba will be in street clothes for the 15th consecutive game. The Cavaliers haven't offered a clear timeline for the swingman's return to action, so his status will presumably continue to be updated on a game-by-game basis.

Nwaba (ankle) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
The Cavaliers continue to evaluate Nwaba's availability on a game-by-game basis, but coach Larry Drew hasn't provided a firm indication that the swingman is trending toward playing at any point during the upcoming week. Since Nwaba has been sidelined for nearly a month with the left ankle sprain, he'll likely be subject to a minute restriction once he's finally cleared to play again.

Nwaba (ankle) is out Saturday against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis

Nwaba (ankle) is out Friday against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Nwaba hasn't played since Dec. 23, and the wing will continue to miss time while nursing a sprained left ankle. A timetable for his return hasn't been established, so he'll presumably continue to be day-to-day moving forward.

Nwaba (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's game against Portland, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be the 11 straight contest in which Nwaba will be inactive for, as the Cal Poly product has been sidelined since Christmas Day due to a left ankle sprain. It appears likely though that Nwaba is close to returning but will ultimately need to sit out at least one more matchup.
