Kelsey Russo: The Cavs have applied for a disabled player exception for Dylan Windler, sources tell @The Athletic . It was announced on Monday that Windler would miss the remainder of the 2019-20 season and require surgery for his lower leg stress reaction.
Sources told The Athletic that Dylan Windler is slowly moving toward on-court activities and seeing how he handles the workload.
Before Windler was shut down on Dec. 13, Windler went down to the Cavs’ G League affiliate, the Canton Charge. He played in two games with the Charge before he experienced the soreness that resulted in him being shut down. Sources said his response to the increased workload would determine if he would see time with the Charge or stay with the Cavs.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Dylan Windler will be sidelined from on-court basketball activities for a period of two (2) weeks to re-evaluate a left lower leg stress reaction he was first diagnosed with at the start of the 2019-20 season.
Cleveland Cavaliers rookie swingman Dylan Windler is currently practicing with the Canton Charge and, if all goes well, the Cavs are hopeful Windler will play a G League game in Canton Thursday night, league sources tell cleveland.com.
