Frye (personal) has been excused by the Cavaliers for Friday's game against the Mavericks and therefore ruled out, ESPN's Marc Spears reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frye will take a brief leave from the team as he mourns the death of his father, who passed away on Thursday. As a result of Frye's absence, veteran Richard Jefferson figures to see an uptick in minutes, while it's unclear at this point if Frye will be able to return for Sunday's matchup against the 76ers. His potential availability will be monitored throughout the weekend.
