Ayo Dosunmu
G/SF CHI
Fri 4/19/24 5:34 PM

Dosunmu (quad) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite missing the final four games of the regular season, Dosunmu played 41 minutes in Wednesday's Play-In victory over Atlanta, putting up 19 points, three assists, two blocks and a rebound. After playing over 40 minutes Wednesday, the Bulls are not expected to limit the 24-year-old's minutes, especially in a win-or-go-home scenario.

Alex Caruso
G/SF CHI
Fri 4/19/24 5:33 PM

Caruso (ankle) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
There was initial concern regarding the severity of Caruso's ankle injury that he suffered Wednesday against Atlanta, but he was examined further Thursday, which showed reduced swelling. He said Friday morning that he expected to play against the Heat, and he's officially been cleared to suit up in the win-or-go-home matchup. Over his six appearances this month, he's averaged 8.8 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 32.3 minutes per game.

Andre Drummond
C CHI
Fri 4/19/24 5:32 PM

Drummond (ankle) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Drummond missed the final three games of the regular season with a left ankle sprain but returned to action for Wednesday's victory over Atlanta, putting up four points, four rebounds, three blocks and a steal in 11 minutes. In a win-or-go-home scenario, the Bulls may limit Drummond's playing time again, especially if Nikola Vucevic stays out of foul trouble.

Duncan Robinson
SG/F MIA
Fri 4/19/24 5:17 PM

Robinson (back) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against Chicago, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson was probable for Friday's matchup, so his availability isn't very surprising. However, he was also available for Wednesday's postseason matchup against the 76ers but didn't see any playing time. Even if he sees some minutes in Jimmy Butler's (knee) absence, it seems unlikely that Robinson will play a significant role.

OUTCraig Porter
G CLE
Fri 4/19/24 4:05 PM

Porter (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Porter sprained his left ankle during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets and will be sidelined to begin the playoffs. It's unclear when Porter will return, but once he's healthy, he could struggle to find playing time as part of a strong bench unit consisting of Caris LeVert, Sam Merrill and Isaac Okoro.

OUTDean Wade
F/C CLE
Fri 4/19/24 4:03 PM

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Wade has not played since March 8, a 33-minute start where he accumulated zero points, four rebounds, two assists and a block. It's unclear when the 27-year-old will be able to return.

OUTTy Jerome
G CLE
Fri 4/19/24 4:02 PM

Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Jerome has not played since Oct. 27, and it seems unlikely that he'll be able to return during the playoffs. The 26-year-old underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle in late January, and there is still no timetable for his return.

Sam Merrill
SG CLE
Fri 4/19/24 3:39 PM

Merrill (illness) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Merrill sat out the final three games of the regular season due to a neck strain, but he'll be able to suit up to begin the playoffs. The 27-year-old averaged 8.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game during the regular season.

Darius Garland
PG CLE
Fri 4/19/24 3:38 PM

Garland (back) isn't listed on the Cavaliers' injury report for Game 1 of the first-round series against the Magic on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Garland missed the regular-season finale to rest a low back contusion but should be full go to start the postseason. Over his last five appearances, the dynamic guard has averaged 20.2 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 35.0 minutes per game.

Caris LeVert
G/SF CLE
Fri 4/19/24 3:36 PM

LeVert (knee) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
LeVert missed the Cavaliers' regular-season finale due to left knee soreness, but he'll be back in action as the team begins postseason play Saturday. Over six regular-season appearances in April, he averaged 18.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.7 minutes per game.
