Cleveland Cavaliers have discussed sending rookie Dylan Windler to G League in preparation for NBA debut

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- With a jam-packed upcoming schedule that limits practice time, the Cleveland Cavaliers organization has discussed plans for injured rookie Dylan Windler to get some work in the G League ahead of his eventual NBA debut.
Sources say the Cavs haven’t yet compared their upcoming schedule in detail with the Canton Charge -- the G League affiliate -- to determine if there’s a logical match. But they’ve had cursory discussions about the potential and believe it would be helpful to first let Windler test his leg, shake off some rust, build a bit of confidence and take contact before throwing him into live, NBA game action.
Everything is being discussed, from him practicing in Canton with the Charge, to the G League squad coming to Cleveland Clinic Courts, to Windler playing a game or two with Canton.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Larry Nance Jr.'s goal of playing in all 82 games is already in jeopardy.

Nance had been playing with a wrap around his jammed left thumb for weeks, fighting through the pain and helping provide depth to an injured frontcourt. But he re-injured that area on a fourth-quarter dunk attempt during Thursday’s 108-97 loss to the Miami Heat.
Nance was evaluated on Friday, the team’s off day, before seeing a hand specialist Saturday.
