EDGE Analysis

Hunter is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to a dislocated right thumb he suffered in Game 1. If Hunter is ruled out yet again, Dean Wade, Javonte Green and Isaac Okoro should continue to receive increased playing time against Indiana.

Hunter (thumb) has been ruled out for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pacers on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter dislocated his thumb during the Cavs' Game 1 loss Saturday and will not play in Game 2 as a result. He's been a key piece of Cleveland's rotation since being traded by Atlanta in February, so his absence gives Isaac Okoro, Javonte Green and Dean Wade the opportunity to see increased workloads off the bench. Hunter's next chance to take the floor is Game 3 on Friday in Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter is dealing with a dislocated finger on his right hand, which could keep him sidelined for Game 2. The Virginia product played 30 minutes off the bench in Game 1, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds and an assist. If he cannot play Tuesday, Cleveland will likely lean on Isaac Okoro and Javonte Green to help shoulder the load.
