Chris Fedor: If everything goes right, the way #Cavs want in pregame warmups, rookie Kevin Porter Jr. will return to the lineup and play tonight in Detroit, a source tells @clevelanddotcom
Kevin Porter out at least four weeks?
Kevin Porter Jr. was out on the bench with the team, and he was not using a crutch. He did have a noticeable limp though. Sources told The Athletic that Porter is likely to be out four to six weeks with his left knee injury. He was standing up celebrating on the sidelines with the team as the Cavs entered overtime.
John Henson on the block
The Cavaliers are showcasing veteran big man John Henson with the hope of trading him. And now they have an opportunity to do the same thing with Brandon Knight because of Kevin Porter Jr.’s knee injury. The Cavs want to move Henson, who is 29 and one of several veterans on an expiring contract, but until a knee injury to Larry Nance Jr. last week didn’t have enough playing time to really show what he can do. He needs it because he missed most of last season with a broken wrist, and a big chunk of time this year for various injuries.
