Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Exits due to injury
Rotowire
Porter has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Charlotte after suffering an apparent left ankle sprain in the first quarter, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

He totaled two points (1-2 FG), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block before departing. Fedor notes that Porter wasn't putting any weight on his injured leg upon exiting the court, so the rookie's availability for the start of the Cavaliers' postseason run could be in question.
