What happened
Josh Hart remained out with a sore ankle, so Landry Shamet started again and logged a quiet first half for New York.
Cleveland also listed three rotation players on its injury report, and Jarrett Allen’s absence pushed Meleek Thomas into his second start.
LINEUP CONTEXT
Those absences keep both teams’ frontcourt and wing rotations fluid, with New York still managing Hart’s status and Cleveland relying on replacement minutes.
