Dekker (ankle) remains out Wednesday against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Dekker is still working back from a rather severe left ankle sprain and will evaluated on a game-to-game basis. He's thought to be close to a return, but he'll likely face a minutes limitation for at least a few games once he's back.

Dekker (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Spencer Davies of Basketball Insiders reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dekker hasn't played since Nov. 5 due to an ankle injury. While he's making solid progress in his recovery, coach Larry Drew stated that he still doesn't know when Dekker will be able to return. He'll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis as he inches closer to a return. In the meantime, Cedi Osman and Larry Nance should continue to see increased run with Dekker and Kevin Love (toe) both out.

Dekker (ankle) is nearing a return to game action, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monday marks three weeks since Dekker went down with a sprained left ankle, and the belief at this point is he could be cleared to return sometime within the next few games. Fedor notes that Dekker said he's been attempting to prove to the Cavs' training staff that he's ready to play, but the team is understandably exercising caution. Assuming Dekker is able to log another practice or two over the next several days, he could be back in the mix during a four-game for the Cavaliers, which begins Monday night with a home matchup against the Timberwolves. Prior to the injury, Dekker had been averaging 25 minutes per game over his last five contests.

Dekker (ankle) was spotted shooting Wednesday morning, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dekker is still working back from a sprained left ankle, and while he won't play Wednesday night against the Lakers, he appears to be nearing a return. The Cavs initially gave Dekker a 2-to-4-week timetable back on Nov. 6.

Dekker will miss 2-to-4 weeks with a left ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Dekker suffered the injury during Monday's loss to the Magic, and a subsequent MRI confirmed the severity. He'll now undergo a period of treatment and rehab, while a more concrete timetable for his return should emerge as he progresses in his recovery. In the meantime, look for Cedi Osman, Larry Nance and potentially Channing Frye to see an uptick in minutes with Dekker and Kevin Love (toe) both out.

Dekker has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against Orlando due to a left ankle sprain, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dekker was taken to the locker room after rolling his ankle badly, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the contest. With Dekker out, Larry Nance, Cedi Osman and Channing Frye are in line for more playing time.

Dekker was taken to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury during Monday's game against Orlando, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dekker appeared to roll his left ankle when he landed on an opposing player's foot, and he wasn't able to put weight on his left leg as he made his way to the locker room for further evaluation. He's questionable to return although initial indications don't look promising.

Dekker had 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, and three steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 136-114 victory over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Dekker continued to see minutes in the starting lineup Tuesday, taking the place of Kevin Love (foot) who could be out for up to a month. Dekker had his best game of the season, coming within a single rebound of producing a double-double. Dekker has shown flashes across his three-year NBA career but is yet to land in a consistent role. This could be an opportunity for Dekker to show what he can do without the consequences of losing games. He is more of a deep-league guy at the moment but is worth keeping an eye on everywhere just in case he can find some rhythm.

Dekker is expected to start Tuesday against Atlanta, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Kevin Love (foot) possibly out for the next month, Dekker should benefit by seeing more playing time at power forward. Further clarification on Love's injury is expected to be released in the near future, which will determine how the Cavs elect to use Dekker moving forward. In his first year with Cleveland, Dekker is posting 5.2 points and 3.6 boards over 13.6 minutes per contest (five games).

Dekker will draw the start in place of the injured Kevin Love (foot) for Saturday's matchup against the Pacers, Spencer Davies of BasketballInsiders.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Channing Frye drew the start for Love on Thursday, but Dekker will get a shot against Indiana. Dekker has played double-digit minutes twice this season, totaling 11 points, 11 rebounds, two steals and an assist in 30 minutes.
