Coach Dwane Casey said Valanciunas (ankle) will be available to play Wednesday and that the team hopes “to get him in, find him some minutes and get his feet wet..”, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.

Valanciunas is feeling healthy enough that he’ll be available to play Wednesday. However, Bismack Biyombo is expected to remain in the starting lineup and see the majority of the minutes, so any fantasy value Valanciunas may have had remains severely restricted. If the Cavaliers’ second unit continues to take the small-ball approach, it could be hard to find significant minutes for Valanciunas, but he should at least touch the floor at some point during Wednesday’s Game 5.
