Ty Jerome Ruled Out For Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indiana.

Malcolm Brogdon Not Ready To Return On Sunday

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) will remain on the sidelines for a fourth consecutive game on Sunday versus Oklahoma City.
