Newaba (ankle) is still about a week away from returning, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nwaba, who has been sidelined since Dec. 23 due to a hampering left ankle sprain, will presumably miss at least the Cavaliers' next three games as he continues to recover. Alec Burks, Jordan Clarkson and Cedi Osman will likely see more minutes at the shooting-guard position because of Nwaba's absence for the next three contests.

Nwaba (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Nwaba left Sunday's game against Chicago with a sprained left ankle and did not return, so the listing isn't overly surprising. The Cavs should provide further details at shootaround Wednesday morning.

Nwaba left Sunday's game against the Cavaliers after rolling his left ankle and was unable to return, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a bad break for Nwaba, who played 21 minutes Sunday night after being a game-time decision and before going down with the ankle injury in the fourth quarter. The fact that Nwaba couldn't put any weight on it is obviously a bad sign, but the Cavaliers should have a more specific update on his health by Monday morning.

Nwaba (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Nwaba was previously listed as doubtful, but it appears there's a chance he could play after the Cavs upgraded his status to questionable on their most recent injury report. A final decision on his availability likely won't come until after pregame warmups.

Nwaba is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Bulls due to a sprained left ankle.
EDGE Analysis
Nwaba emerged from Friday's loss to Toronto with a sprained left ankle, and it will likely prevent him from taking the court over the weekend. With Rodney Hood (Achilles) ruled out, the Cavs may have to get big minutes from Cedi Osman, Alec Burks, Jaren Blossomgame and plenty of others.
