The Cleveland Cavaliers were one of the most impressive teams in the NBA this season and sat with a record of 62-15 at the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers have joined the Oklahoma City Thunder as the only team this season that reached 60 wins because Cleveland was incredibly dominant.
On Sunday, the Cavaliers will organize the Sacramento Kings, which are incredibly desperate after a win. The kings have lost seven of their last nine games and stick to the last play-in tournament place with a thread.
Fortunately for the Cavaliers who want to avoid anger, they get an important player back on the floor. After the head coach of Cavaliers, Kenny Atkinson, missed the last five games with the left knee tendinitis, she confirmed that the outstanding security guard Ty Jerome will play against the Kings on Sunday.
According to Kenny Atkinson, Ty Jerome will return to Cavs VS Kings. Jerome (knee) missed five in a row.

The kings had to take a break against the top squad of the Eastern Conference on Sunday, but Jerome’s improved status certainly doesn’t help.
Jerome, a candidate of the NBA sixth man of the year, scored an average of 12.2 points, 3.3 templates and 1.1 steals per game with hyperefficient 50.9/43.1/86.8 shooting spreads this season. After Jerome played only two games throughout the 2023-24 season, he is surprisingly one of the most valuable players in Cleveland on the way to one of her best years in franchise history.
Of course, the cavaliers have enough weapons to compete on the floor without Jerome, but his presence in the second unit was massive for them. In his recent absence of five games, the Cavaliers went 4-1, but look forward to bringing him back to the pitch.
The kings and cavaliers face each other in Cleveland on Sunday at 6 p.m.
