Dellavedova (appendectomy) isn't with the team for the current road trip and won't play Sunday against the Hawks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old underwent an appendectomy in late February and was recently traveling with the team, but he remained home for the current road trip and should also sit out Tuesday's game at Miami. Dellavedova has yet to see the court this season after suffering a severe concussion in the preseason, and he's now sidelined after undergoing the emergency procedure. It's unclear when he's expected to make his season debut.

Dellavedova (appendectomy) resumed traveling with the Cavaliers during the team's recent two-game road trip, but he remains without a clear timeline to make his 2020-21 debut, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova has been sidelined for much of the campaign due to a severe concussion he suffered in the Cavs' preseason opener. He appeared to have made a full recovery from the head injury before requiring an emergency appendectomy on Feb. 20. Cleveland is listing Dellavedova as out indefinitely following that procedure, but his presence on the sideline in the team's recent games suggests he's made some progress on some level. The Cavaliers will presumably re-evaluate Dellavedova when the team reconvenes for practice after the All-Star break. Still, even when he receives full medical clearance, the 30-year-old won't be a lock to crack head coach J.B. Bickerstaff's rotation regularly.

Dellavedova (concussion) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Lakers and is without a timetable to return to game action.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova is yet to play this season due to a concussion, yet the Cavs have issued no updates on the veteran guard's status. The assumption is that he's still in the league's protocol, but most players are typically cleared within a week or two, so he's apparently dealing with a relatively severe concussion. Consider Dellavedova out indefinitely until the Cavs say otherwise.
