According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, restricted free-agent forward Isaac Okoro agreed to a three-year, $38 million deal to remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both sides have been at a stalemate regarding a new contract for months. However, things finally worked out, meaning the Cavs will retain a capable defender. Okoro has spent his entire four-year career in Cleveland. He's appeared in 279 regular-season contests for the club, averaging 8.5 points and 2.9 rebounds. With that in mind, the Cavs have Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen doing most of the heavy lifting offensively, so there's little room for anyone else to get involved. As a result, Okoro likely won't see much attention from fantasy managers heading into the 2024-25 campaign. On the other hand, there could be streaming potential at some point during the season.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Isaac Okoro (toe) will miss a fourth straight contest on Saturday against the Lakers. He's been kept off the court by a toe sprain. The versatile talent will get the next opportunity to return on Sunday when Cleveland faces the Clippers. Okoro's absence gives Georges Niang and Sam Merrill a chance to figure more prominently in the rotation, but they are seeing very inconsistent playing time. Caris LeVert will continue to lead the second unit on Saturday. It's a tough matchup against a team that has limited opposing benches to 45 percent shooting.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Isaac Okoro (toe) remains out for Wednesday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. He's bothered by a toe sprain. But the Cavs are the healthiest they've been in a while, so the team can afford to keep the 23-year-old off the floor for at least a few more games. Although Okoro will likely head back to the bench once he returns, his absence on Wednesday should allow Sam Merrill, Marcus Morris Sr., and Georges Niang to see more action. However, none of those guys are consistent fantasy producers, considering Caris LeVert is the No. 1 option from off the bench.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro (toe) has been ruled out for the second game in a row due to toe soreness. The 23-year-old was held out of their game against the Denver Nuggets which turned into a 23-point blowout loss. The Cavaliers are looking to stay in the third seed in the East, but they only remain a half of a game ahead of the New York Knicks. Okoro may not be the deciding factor in this situation or in fantasy matchups, but his absence will mean more minutes for the starters as well as Caris LeVert.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) will return from a one-game absence on Sunday versus Denver. LeVert couldn't play on Friday against Philadelphia due to wrist soreness but has shaken off the injury to jump back into action for a clash with the reigning champions. The 29-year-old has struggled in his most recent appearances, and Donovan Mitchell's return is bad news for him from a fantasy perspective, but the absence of Isaac Okoro (toe) should give LeVert some extra value. Okoro, who was hurt on Friday, has been downgraded from questionable to out.
