Jaylon Tyson did not get a real opportunity to leave a mark on the Cleveland Cavaliers during his rookie season in 2024-25. The expectations being set by Kenny Atkinson for the upcoming campaign are suggesting that will not be the case again.
The Cavaliers head coach was asked about Tyson at a recent press conference ahead of the rapidly-approaching NBA season. There was optimism for what Tyson could bring to the Cavaliers in 2025-26.
Atkinson said, "He's a young guy, so he's still a role player. ... I think he's had a phenomenal offseason. I'm really excited.
