Nae'Qwan Tomlin

Nae'Qwan Tomlin has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Fantasy Impact

Tomlin is dealing with left calf soreness, which will keep him out of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ first game back from the All-Star break. His next opportunity to play comes Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. With him sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Larry Nance Jr. and Sam Merrill are candidates to see increased minutes.

The Cavaliers signed Nae'Qwan Tomlin to a standard contract.

Fantasy Impact

Tomlin had been on a two-way contract with Cleveland. He will remain off the fantasy radar.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin scored 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3PT) in 19 minutes off the bench in Monday's 123-112 loss to Utah.

Fantasy Impact

Tomlin added three rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal as he stuffed the box score on Monday night. His 13 points snapped a string of nine straight games in which he failed to reach double digits. His three assists marked a new career-high while his two steals tied a career-best he had reached six prior times.

Tomlin produced 18 points (8-10 FG), six rebounds and two steals in Thursday’s loss to the Raptors. After seeing 18 minutes in Cleveland’s previous outing, he logged 22 minutes in this one and delivered his best performance of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the strong showing, Tomlin hasn’t been part of the Cavaliers’ regular rotation this year. This performance doesn’t change his fantasy outlook — he remains a dynasty stash only, not a redraft consideration.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin scored 24 points (8-21 FG, 2-8 3PT, 6-8 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in the Cavaliers 126-118 loss against the Pacers.

Fantasy Impact

Tomlin played a team-high 47 minutes in the double overtime loss. He took full advantage of the extended opportunity in the regular season finale. He'll be out of the rotation in the playoffs.
