The Cleveland Cavaliers got some good news when their injury report came out on Thursday.
Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley's names were nowhere to be found. They'll both be healthy and ready to go against the Toronto Raptors.
Both had been held out Wednesday night, but the Cavs beat the Miami Heat anyway in an impressive win to improve to 8-4.
Now taking on the Raptors, Cleveland will have more of its full lineup out there, but not all of it.

Cleveland Cavaliers injury report
The Cavs list five players as out for their matchup with the Raptors.
Those five absences are:
- Lonzo Ball (Rest, left knee injury management)
- Darius Garland (Left great toe injury management)
- Chris Livingston (G League two-way)
- Max Strus (Left foot surgery)
- Jaylon Tyson (Head, concussion)
Ball did play in the win on Wednesday, so the Cavs are resting him on the second night of a back-to-back.
With both Ball and Garland out, Craig Porter Jr. Should carry the mantle at point guard again. On Wednesday, Porter finished with 19 points, nine assists, four rebounds, four blocks and three steals.
The frontcourt is fully healthy, which is good news against a lanky and paint-attacking Raptors squad.
