The Cleveland Cavaliers might get one of their key contributors back on Sunday night.
J.T. Thor and Luke Travers continue to be out on a G-League assignment.
However, according to a report by Evan Dammarell, Caris LeVert and Craig Porter Jr. might be back tonight to face the Dallas Mavericks.
The insider also adds that Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro are still out with knee and shoulder injuries, respectively.
Caris LeVert and Craig Porter Jr. are questionable and will likely be game-time decisions for the #Cavs against the Dallas Mavericks.
Isaac Okoro remains out. The same goes for Dean Wade, JT Thor, and Luke Travers.

LeVert has missed several games with a wrist injury.
He has been one of the key contributors and the first player off the bench for coach Kenny Atkinson, and getting him back on the court would provide this team with a significant boost for the second unit.
While known mostly for his scoring outbursts and prowess, LeVert has made big strides in other aspects of his game under Atkinson’s guidance.
He has become a significantly more active and aggressive player on the defensive end, and his playmaking, court vision, and eagerness to pass the ball have also been a delightful surprise.
The Cavaliers will face an undermanned Mavericks team that’s still shaken up.
They shockingly traded franchise star Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers to get Anthony Davis.
Then again, the star big man isn’t likely to be available for Jason Kidd’s team.
Even if that’s true, the Cavs have achieved success against elite big men due to their physical frontcourt, and with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen dominating the restricted area, they shouldn’t fear anyone.
