Okoro (elbow) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Okoro underwent an MRI on Jan. 3 that revealed a left elbow sprain and was expected to be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks. However, the Cavaliers are listing him as questionable 11 days later. While it remains unclear if he will actually be able to suit up Friday, it's a positive sign that he is progressing well. When he does eventually return, he's expected to reclaim his spot as the starting shooting guard, which would shift Lamar Stevens back to the bench.

Okoro underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a left elbow sprain, and he's expected to miss 2-3 weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Okoro was removed from Sunday's loss to the Pacers in the first half due to his elbow injury, and he'll now begin a period of treatment and rehabilitation. Cedi Osman (COVID-19 protocols), Dylan Windler (knee), Darius Garland (COVID-19 protocols) and RJ Nembhard could see increased run while Okoro is sidelined.

Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Monday that Okoro (elbow) is still being evaluated, making the second-year wing's availability unclear for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Evan Dammarell of WKYC 3News Cleveland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Before exiting following the first half of Sunday's 108-104 loss to the Pacers, Okoro provided two points (1-1 FG), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block over 12 minutes. Brandon Goodwin opened the second half with the starters and would be the top candidate to replace Okoro in the lineup if the latter isn't ready to go Tuesday.

Okoro suffered an elbow injury during the first half of Sunday's contest against the Pacers and is questionable to return, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okoro recorded just two points, one rebound and one assist across 12 first-half minutes and is questionable to return to the team's contest against Indiana. If he can't come back, expect Kevin Love, Lamar Stevens and Brandon Goodwin to see more opportunities.

Okoro logged six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 108-104 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Okoro managed to log 31 minutes in the victory but failed to deliver anything close to what could be considered a serviceable fantasy line. He presents as a bit of a conundrum for fantasy managers given his consistent playing time. While he has shown an ability to put up 12-team worthy numbers, he is simply too unpredictable to be rostered outside of deeper formats at this stage.

Okoro will be available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Andrew Lopez of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year wing passed through protocols Monday, but there were some concerns about his conditioning considering he hasn't played in a game since Dec. 15. Those concerns have apparently been alleviated, so Okoro has been given the green light to take the floor. With several rotation players out, including Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen, Okoro could slot into the starting lineup right away.

Okoro (conditioning) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game at New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Okoro has passed through the league's COVID-19 protocols, so whether he plays Tuesday will likely come down to his level of conditioning. If he's ultimately cleared, Okoro will take the floor for the first time since Dec. 15.

Okoro (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Joe Gabriele of the Cavaliers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okoro was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he'll be forced to miss a third straight game due to the league's health and safety protocols. Darius Garland and Denzel Valentine should continue to see increased run Sunday.

Okoro (COVID-19 protocols) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against Toronto, Kelsey Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears as though Okoro has cleared the league's health and safety protocols, but the Cavs may still hold him out Sunday due to conditioning concerns. If he does sit Sunday, his next chance to play would arrive Tuesday at New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis
It's not yet clear whether Okoro has tested positive for COVID-19 or how long he'll be sidelined. However, Cedi Osman, Darius Garland and Denzel Valentine should take on increased roles in Okoro's absence.
