Tyson will come off the bench during Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Tyson will be in the second unit after starting in Sunday's preseason loss to the Celtics. He finished with 16 points, five rebounds and four assists in a strong performance as a starter.

Tyson produced 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three turnovers across 28 minutes of Sunday's 138-107 preseason loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The Cavaliers rested multiple players Sunday, including Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Tyson was ice cold in his previous two exhibitions, shooting a combined 2-of-12 from the field, but he took advantage of some extra usage in this one. With the Cavaliers expected to be shorthanded to open the season, Tyson is likely to be in the rotation on Opening Night.

Tyson finished scoreless (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt) with three assists, one steal and two blocks in 18 minutes of Tuesday's 118-117 preseason loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

The Cavaliers plugged Tyson into the starting lineup with Donovan Mitchell running the point and Lonzo Ball coming off the bench. This could potentially be their lineup for Opening Night with Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, but Tyson will need to step it up if he wants to hold onto this job. During his rookie campaign in 2024-25, Tyson appeared in 47 regular-season contests with averages of 3.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.9 assists.

Tyson will start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Bulls, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Darius Garland (toe) and Sam Merrill (undisclosed) sidelined, Tyson will get the starting nod in Cleveland's preseason opener. The 22-year-old swingman appeared in 47 regular-season games (three starts) in 2024-25, during which he averaged 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds across 9.6 minutes per game.

Tyson (rest) did appear in Saturday's 82-71 Summer League loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Tyson was idle for the Cavaliers' final Summer League contest. The wing impressed on the offensive end earlier this summer, scoring 21 points in his last outing Sunday against the Heat.

Tyson (rest) didn't play in Wednesday's 94-86 Summer League loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Tyson doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury, as it's possible that the Cavaliers are simply monitoring his workload. Although the 2024 first-rounder hasn't officially been shut down for the rest of the Summer League, it wouldn't be shocking if Tyson didn't suit up again for maintenance purposes.

Tyson finished with 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 26 minutes during Sunday's 92-72 Summer League win against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Tyson matched Miami's Kel'el Ware with a game-high 21 points while also making significant contributions on the board, as a facilitator and on the defensive end. Tyson has now scored 18 or more points in both of the Las Vegas Summer League games he has played.

Tyson supplied 18 points (3-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 31 minutes in Saturday's 93-83 Summer League win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Tyson was inefficient from the field Saturday, but still finished as one of four Cavaliers players to score double-digit points in the win. The 22-year-old swingman saw fairly inconsistent playing time with Cleveland in 2024-25 and will look to carve out a more significant role with Isaac Okoro and Ty Jerome no longer on the roster. Over 47 regular-season appearances (three starts) last season, Tyson averaged 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per contest.

Tyson totaled 20 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 32 minutes in Thursday's 116-115 Summer League loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Tyson showcased his playmaking skills Thursday, dishing out a game-high 12 assists. The 2024 first-round pick is aiming to carve out a larger role in his second season after posting 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game over 47 appearances, including three starts, during the 2024-25 campaign.

Tyson totaled 11 points (2-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 12 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Tyson suited up for just the fourth time this postseason, playing an increased role as the Cavaliers slumped to an embarrassing loss. This game was over at the half after Indiana posted an incredible 80 points in 24 minutes. Cleveland will need to turn things around in Game 5, now having to secure three straight victories to advance to the Conference Finals.
