Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Knocks down triple in win
Rotowire
Proctor scored three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and added two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 10 minutes in Monday's 116-95 win over Detroit.
Proctor has not been able to find himself a consistent role within Cleveland's rotation, as he is behind the likes of Sam Merrill (hip), Lonzo Ball (rest) and Craig Porter. However, in the event of a backcourt injury, Proctor would be first in line to slide up the depth chart and inherit more minutes, which was the case Monday with Merrill leaving the contest early and Ball resting.

With Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Sam Merrill (undisclosed) returning to action, Proctor will retreat to the bench. The Duke product drew the start in Sunday's preseason loss to the Celtics, posting 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes.

Rotowire
Proctor racked up 35 points (11-24 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 9-9), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 94-86 Summer League loss to the Kings.
Proctor put on a show, lighting up the scoreboard with a game-high 35 points. He also dished out a team-high four assists in a losing effort during this Las Vegas Summer League game.
Proctor was selected by the Cavaliers with the No. 49 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Proctor's counting stats -- 12.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 38 games -- weren't eye-popping, but his efficiency (45.2 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from three) and leadership made him a key glue guy for Duke. Though he's undersized and lacks top-tier athleticism, Proctor's shooting ability gives him a clear path to carving out a role at the next level.
