EDGE Analysis

On a recent episode of the "Road Trippin'" podcast, which is hosted by Jefferson and Channing Frye, the 37-year-old confirmed that he will return to the Cavs next season after mulling retirement. Jefferson, who nearly retired last summer, is due to make $2.5 million next season, in what could very well be his final go-round in the NBA. In 2016-17, Jefferson saw action in 79 contests and averaged 5.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assist in just over 20 minutes per game.

Jefferson (knee) will play in Sunday's matchup with the Pacers, Cavaliers play-by-play announcer Fred McLeod reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson has been nursing tendinitis in his knee, sitting out the Cavaliers' last two games because of it. However, as expected, it was only a minor ailment for the 36-year-old veteran and he'll be available off the bench on Sunday. Jefferson averaged 7.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 three-pointers across 24.1 minutes in March.

Jefferson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Rick Noland of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson has missed the last two games while fighting knee tendinitis, but the Cavaliers don't seem to fear that a long-term absence is in store for the veteran. If he's able to make it through pregame warmups without incident, the 36-year-old should be available Sunday in a 15-to-20-minute role off the bench.

Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue indicated that he expects Jefferson (knee) to play Friday against the 76ers, Brian Seltzer of Sixers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Lue suggesting that all of the team's regulars with the exception of Kyle Korver (foot) would be available Friday, it appears safe to count Jefferson in for the second half of the Cavs' back-to-back set. Jefferson battled knee tendinitis during Wednesday's practice and sat out Thursday's loss to the Bulls, but that was likely just for precautionary purposes. The veteran should be in store for a 15-to-25-minute role Friday while seeing time at both forward spots.

Jefferson (knee) will miss Thursday's tilt against the Bulls, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson missed Wednesday's practice with knee tendonitis, but was expected to play during Thursday's game. However, things have seemed to take a turn for the worse and Jefferson will not suit up against the Bulls. In his absence, look for normal rotational guys to see extra run -- though James Jones and Derrick Williams could make extended appearances as well.

Jefferson missed Wednesday's practice with knee tendonitis but is still expected to play during Thursday's matchup against the Bulls Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Jefferson sat out practice with a knee issue, coach Tyronn Lue noted that everyone except Kyle Korver (foot) will play Thursday. That being said, it's still possible that his injury could flare up, putting his status against the Bulls in jeapordy.

Jefferson managed zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 91-83 victory over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

With Kevin Love (knee) making his return Thursday, it was assumed that Jefferson would take a fairly large hit to his playing time. However, with Love on a minutes restriction -- playing just 20 minutes -- Jefferson still saw heavy run off the bench, but couldn't capitalize. The 36-year-old had been hot from the field leading up to Thursday's contest during Love's 13-game absence -- knocking down 56.3 percent of his shots and 47.5 percent of his three-point attempts -- but couldn't find the bottom of the basket against the Jazz. While he'll likely see his playing time regress closer to the 20.7 minutes per game that he's averaging on the season with Love back, coach Tyronn Lue isn't afraid to play Jefferson extended minutes if anyone on the team misses time.

Jefferson is expected to return to the bench for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Cavaliers play-by-play announcer John Michael reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kevin Love (back) will be returning to the starting lineup Thursday after missing the last 13 games, which sends Jefferson back to the bench. While Jefferson figures to see a slight downturn in minutes, it may not be by much, as Love is expected to be on a minutes restriction and should be eased back into the swing of things. That said, Jefferson wasn't necessarily a hot commodity even when acting as a starter and will remain off the radar in the majority of fantasy formats.

Jefferson contributed a season-high 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt) to go along with three rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-112 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson didn't miss a shot on route to a season-high 16 points against a fast-paced Rockets squad. He's seen an increased role in the nine games leading up to Sunday since the All-Star break, averaging 8.7 points on 40.7 percent from three, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 25.9 minutes per game during that stretch. While he can likely be avoided in the majority of fantasy formats, his increased role can still have an impact in the deepest leagues, and occasionally DFS.
