Cavaliers' Forward Isaac Okoro (shoulder) to Miss Minimum of Two Weeks
The Cleveland Cavaliers are projected to be without small forward Isaac Okoro for more than a fortnight due to a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder.
Okoro sustained the injury during the third quarter of Monday's 130-101 triumph on the road against the Brooklyn Nets. He played for 20 minutes and scored 12 points.
The team plans to reassess the injury around the start of the new year.
