According to the Brooklyn Nets official X.com account, Egor Dëmin (leg) sustained a right leg bone bruise and will be reevaluated in one week.

Dëmin’s absence could mean some spot starts for Keon Ellis, who started the first three games of the season and started the second half of Tuesday’s game after

Dëmin was injured. Nolan Traore could remain in the starting lineup and join Ellis there.

Nolan Traoré, Egor Dëmin, Michael Porter Jr., Julius Randle and Day’Ron Sharpe will start Tuesday’s game against the Celtics.

One game removed from recording 17 points and five assists, Traoré has been rewarded with his first start of the season. He replaces Keon Ellis, who will come off the bench. The change also means that Dëmin will spend more time off the ball, which could help him get going after a slow start to the season.

Egor Dëmin, Keon Ellis, Michael Porter Jr., Julius Randle and Day’Ron Sharpe will start Wednesday’s game against the Hornets.

Dëmin will move into the starting point guard role after starting at the two for most of his rookie season. That means Ellis joins him in the backcourt, and he’s worth rostering in deep leagues. The frontcourt isn’t a surprise, with Randle and Sharpe joining Porter.

Keon Ellis signed a two-year, $18 million contract with the Brooklyn Nets, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Ellis spent the first three and a half years of his career with the Kings before he was traded to the Cavaliers before last season’s trade deadline. Now the 26-year-old guard is off to the Nets via a two-year deal in free agency. Ellis proved to be a solid bench contributor for the Cavaliers and could have a similar role with the Nets.

Dennis Schröder (illness) is out for Game 4 against the Knicks on Monday.

Schröder popped up on the injury report as questionable with an illness just hours before game-time and was subsequently ruled out. It’s a difficult development for the Cavaliers to weather while already trailing 3-0 in the series. It’s unclear who will step into Schröder’s vacated bench minutes, though Keon Ellis is a likely candidate.

Keon Ellis (knee), Dennis Schröder and Thomas Bryant (calf) are out for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.

While Ellis and Schröder were active for Friday’s loss to the Hawks, Bryant has missed Cleveland’s last three games with a strained calf. On the perimeter, Craig Porter Jr. and Tyrese Proctor should play significant minutes, while Olivier Sarr and Tristan Enaruna should pick up rotation minutes in the frontcourt.

Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is unavailable to play against the Hawks on Friday.

Mitchell’s absence will leave the Cavaliers without their best scorer on Friday. In his absence, Keon Ellis or Max Strus could move into a starting role, creating more opportunities for them to produce. Sam Merrill is also a candidate to slot in as a replacement starter.

Sam Merrill (hamstring) will not play in Friday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Merrill came off the bench and logged 27 minutes in the Cavaliers’ win over the Hawks on Wednesday, draining a pair of three-pointers along the way. However, he won’t be available for the rematch, which could allow Keon Ellis and Max Strus to take on a heavier workload.
