Okoro (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Nets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following a 14-game absence with a shoulder injury, Okoro is ready to return to Cavaliers' lineup Thursday. The veteran swingman could be facing a minutes restriction against Brooklyn, so fantasy managers' expectations should be tempered initially. Okoro's return could eat into the playing time of Max Strus and De'Andre Hunter on the wing.

Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Monday that the Cavaliers are aiming for Okoro (shoulder) and Dean Wade (knee) to return after the All-Star break, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okoro has missed 20 of the Cavs' last 25 games due to a right shoulder sprain. Atkinson reiterated that both Okoro and Wade are on the cusp of being ready to return to the floor, but the duo will have to wait until at least Thursday, Feb. 20 against the Nets for their next opportunity to play. Prior to his shoulder injury, Okoro averaged 6.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 21.0 minutes per game across 23 contests.

Okoro (shoulder) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Okoro is out for a 12th straight game with a shoulder sprain, and he can be tentatively labeled doubtful ahead of Monday's game against Minnesota while carrying no clear timetable for a return. With Sam Merrill out for personal reasons against Washington, the Cavaliers should give Max Strus extra minutes from the starting lineup while Ty Jerome plays a more significant role from the bench.

Okoro (shoulder) didn't travel with the Cavaliers for their two-game road trip and will remain out Wednesday versus the Heat, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okoro missed his sixth straight game in Monday's win over the Pistons while he recovers from an AC joint sprain of his right shoulder, an injury he initially suffered Dec. 16 and kept him out for eight games. He returned to action Jan. 8 but was ineffective over a stretch of five games before aggravating the injury when he took a hard hit to the shoulder in a Jan. 16 loss to Oklahoma City. According to Fedor, Okoro hasn't done much on-court work since his latest setback, so the fifth-year forward will most likely remain sidelined when the Cavaliers return home to play the second leg of a back-to-back set Thursday versus the Hawks.
