Strong two-way effort
Tyson amassed 15 points (7-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 24 minutes during Friday's 124-102 loss to the Hawks.
Analysis
Tyson returned to action after missing 10 games due to a toe injury, sliding straight into the starting lineup. With Cleveland opting to rest a number of players, Tyson was afforded a larger role than usual. Although he will play a consistent role for the Cavaliers during the upcoming playoffs, his playing time will likely be limited to minutes in the teens.

Available, starting versus Atlanta
Tyson (toe) is available for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis
Tyson missed the last 10 games because of a toe injury. However, not only is he available Friday versus the Hawks, he will re-enter the starting lineup. In 40 starts this season, Tyson has averaged 14.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.8 steals across 29.3 minutes of work.

Upgraded to probable
Tyson (toe) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis
Tyson is trending toward ending a 10-game absence Friday. With the Cavaliers resting multiple players, Tyson should have a clear path to 20-plus minutes if he gets the green light, though it's safe to assume he'll have some restrictions after a lengthy layoff.

Iffy for Friday
Tyson is questionable for Friday's game versus Atlanta due to a left toe bone bruise.
Analysis
Tyson is trying to end a 10-game absence and tune himself up ahead of the postseason. If the forward cannot get the green light, more playing time on the wing will be available for Max Strus and Dean Wade.

Not playing Wednesday
Tyson (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Analysis
Tyson was initially listed as questionable, then downgraded to doubtful before ultimately being ruled out. This is his 10th straight absence, and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to action before the end of the regular season. His next chance to suit up will come against Atlanta in a rematch Friday.

Downgraded to doubtful
Tyson (toe) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis
Tyson was upgraded to questionable Tuesday, but the recent downgrade suggests he will be sidelined for a 10th straight game Wednesday. When Tyson is healthy, he'll likely be relegated to a reserve role unless multiple starters are sidelined, and it's uncertain if he'll get the green light before the end of the regular season.
