Adel (knee) did not play in Tuesday's loss to the Mad Ants.

EDGE Analysis

It's only listed as a sore knee, so the two-way player could be in line to return as early as Thursday against Raptors 905.

Adel will come off the bench Monday against the Knicks, FOX Sports Ohio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adel will give way to Brandon Knight in the starting lineup after struggling across a trio of starts, averaging just 3.3 points and 1.7 minutes across 28.7 minutes.

Adel drew his first career start in Tuesday's 103-96 loss to the Celtics, producing two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Adel hadn't made much of an impact (2.1 points, 1.1 rebounds in 9.9 minutes per game) while entering the Cleveland rotation in the previous seven games, so it's perhaps not too surprising that he turned in a lackluster line despite receiving a larger role. Cleveland could get Kevin Love (toe) and Cedi Osman (ankle) back for Friday's game in Washington and new acquisitions Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin might also make their team debuts, making Adel a prime candidate to lose minutes or fall out of the rotation entirely.

Adel will draw his first career start in Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adel, an undrafted rookie, will benefit from a plethora of injuries on the Cavaliers' roster and get the spot-start. He has played sparingly in his seven games with the team, so he figures to see a heavier workload than normal as a starter.

Adel was assigned to the G League's Canton Charge and will play in the team's game Thursday versus the Maine Red Claws.

EDGE Analysis

With Thursday's game tipping off at 11 a.m. EST, it will be a quick turnaround for Adel, who played 15 minutes in the Cavaliers' 116-113 win over the Wizards on Wednesday night. Adel had played in each of the Cavaliers' last six games, averaging 1.8 points and 1.2 boards in 9.2 minutes per contest. There's a good chance he rejoins Cleveland ahead of their next game Saturday against the Mavericks.

Adel signed a two-way contract with the Cavaliers on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adel, an undrafted rookie out of Louisville, has linked up with the Cavaliers after impressing in the G League. Through 25 games with the Raptors 905, Adel posted averages of 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 31.6 minutes. The soon-to-be 22-year-old should provide frontcourt depth for Cleveland.

Adel scored 20 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks during the loss Wednesday to the Hustle.

EDGE Analysis

Adel has seen a number of minutes this season, averaging 23.6 through 18 games.That hasn't translated to points, however, as the small forward is only averaging 12.4 points and 5.4 rebounds in those aforementioned contests.

Adel contributed 22 points (10-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one blocked shot in the win Thursday over the Mad Ants.

EDGE Analysis

Adel has watched teammates Chris Boucher and Jordan Loyd take on the majority of the scoring load this season, but at least Thursday the 21-year-old forward could consider himself a pivotal piece in the process. Adel is averaging 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists through 11 games this season.

Adel was waived by the Raptors on Friday, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adel was unable to make Toronto's final roster. He'll look for work in the G-League or overseas.

Adel has agreed to a training camp contract with the Timberwolves, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adel put together a standout three-year collegiate career with Louisville, finishing it off with a senior season where he averaged 14.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 33.1 minutes. However, he ultimately went undrafted and now joins the Timberwolves for camp with the hope of impressing enough to earn a final roster spot. It's worth it to note that Adel played with the Rockets in the summer league, posting averages of 8.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in just 21.2 minutes. As of now, Adel is likely looking at long odds for earning a spot on the 15-man roster.
