The Cleveland Cavaliers will need to break the cycle of limbo on the 14th roster spot eventually. When they do, the goal should be clear: add an insurance policy to protecting from the mounting injury concerns on the team.
This decision may have been an obvious one when it was just Darius Garland slated to miss time due to his recovery from toe surgery. However, the situation has evolved since then.
Max Strus needing surgery on a fracture in his left foot suddenly thinned the depth on the wings quite significantly for the Cavaliers.
