Cavaliers' Kevin Porter Jr. in concussion protocol
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Kevin Porter Jr. has been placed in the NBA's concussion protocol.
What It Means:
Porter suffered the concussion during Wednesday's loss to the Boston Celtics. Consider him questionable for Saturday in the front end of a back-to-back. Darius Garland (groin) is also uncertain, so Collin Sexton should be able to continue to cook after setting a career-high for scoring in two straight games. Matthew Dellavedova could also see more minutes.
KPJ is averaging 18.8 FanDuel points per game. He was averaging 16.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.0 3-pointers in the five games before Wednesday.
