Dellavedova scored a season-high 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding seven assists and four rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 140-124 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to establishing a new personal scoring best on the season, the 28-year-old tied his season high in dimes. The foot injury that cost Dellavedova a couple games early in the new year appears to be well behind him, and he should return to being a solid part of the Cavs' second unit.

Dellavedova (foot) is available to play Tuesday against the Pacers, Spencer Davies of Basketball Insiders reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova made it though morning shootaround with no issues Tuesday, clearing the way for him to return after missing the previous two games due to a right foot strain. He figures to fill his usual role off the bench for the Cavaliers; through 12 games with Cleveland, Dellavedova is averaging 9.3 points, 3.6 assists and 1.5 rebounds across 19.5 minutes.

Dellavedova (foot) took part in shootaround and is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Pacers, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova was a limited participant in practice Monday while nursing a right foot strain, but it appears he has shown good progress between then and shootaround. Dellavedova is still considered questionable to play, but should everything continue to go right throughout the day Tuesday, expect the point guard to be available against the Pacers.

Dellavedova (foot) was limited in practice Monday, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova missed back-to-back games starting last weekend due to a lingering left foot strain and wasn't a full participant at practice Monday. It's likely that the Australian will need at least one more game to recover and if that's the case, guard Alec Burks may see an increased role off the bench Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova sat out Friday night's loss to Utah, and it looks as though he'll remain out on the second night of a back-to-back set due to a sprained left foot. The veteran will have a pair of off days Sunday and Monday before a potential return Tuesday versus Indiana.

EDGE Analysis
It's unknown as to when Dellavedova picked up his most recent injury, but he'll miss at least one contest while on the mend. The Cavs play the second half of a back-to-back Saturday against the Pelicans, although it's unclear if he'll be ready to suit up.

Dellavedova (knee) doesn't appear on the Cavaliers' injury report for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
The guard's sore knee sidelined him for Wednesday's game in Charlotte before he returned to action Friday in Toronto, logging 18 minutes off the bench and finishing with eight points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists and one rebound in a 126-110 loss. With his knee no longer a concern, Dellavedova should maintain a regular role on the Cavs' second unit for the foreseeable future.

Dellavedova (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Joe Vardon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova immediately took on the backup point guard role up arriving in Cleveland, but he will have the night off Wednesday while he nurses a sore left knee. Without Dellavedova, Jordan Clarkson will likely serve as the Cavaliers backup point guard behind rookie Collin Sexton.

Dellavedova is available for Monday's game against the Bucks, Joe Vardon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova, who was traded from Milwaukee to Cleveland over the weekend, will make his Cavaliers debut Monday against his former team. It's unclear what role Dellavedova will eventually settle into with Cleveland, though he could see a healthy dosage of minutes right away with Jordan Clarkson (back) and Rodney Hood (toe) both battling injuries.
