Cleveland Cavaliers' second-year guard Jaylon Tyson has been out since Mar. 19 with a bone bruise in his left big toe. We'll provide the latest injury update and his potential return dates below.
Tyson has been a revelation for the Cavs rotation this year, averaging 13.1 points per game after he averaged just 3.6 in his rookie year. He's played in 64 games and is shooting 45.5% from three on 4.5 attempts per game while providing steady defense with his 6'6, 215-pound frame.
However, the Cavs have missed his services in their last five games. Players such as Keon Ellis and Max Strus have stepped up big time in his absence - they've gone 4-1 without him. For Tyson, a return soon would be key to secure his spot in the rotation for the playoffs.
When Could Jaylon Tyson Return to the Court?
According to the Cavs, Tyson will be out until at least Apr. 5 when Cleveland returns home against the Indiana Pacers.
According to fearthesword.com, on Friday, Mar. 27, head coach Kenny Atkinson said "he did play a small set of games this morning, three-on-three and stuff, so that's good news."
Here's a look at the Cavs end-of-season schedule when they return home:
Date | Away Team | Home Team |
Apr. 5 | Cleveland Cavaliers | |
Apr. 6 | Cleveland Cavaliers | |
Apr. 8 | Cleveland Cavaliers | |
Apr. 10 | Cleveland Cavaliers | Atlanta Hawks |
Apr. 12 | Cleveland Cavaliers |
Expect Tyson to return at some point before the playoffs begin.
