Head coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters that Tyson will not start Sunday against the Raptors, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
The rookie first-round pick made the first start of his NBA career Wednesday against the Pelicans, and he finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 37 minutes. He'll retreat to a reserve role Sunday, but his strong performance Wednesday may have earned Tyson a larger role in the Cavaliers' rotation moving forward.

Rotowire
Tyson (hip) played the final 3:26 of Friday's 136-117 win over the Warriors, missing both of his field-goal attempts and committing a turnover during his time on the court.
The rookie first-round pick made his first appearance for the Cavaliers since missing the team's first three games of the month due to a hip injury.

Rotowire
Tyson (hip) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Pelicans.
Tyson has been dealing with a left hip sprain, and while the questionable tag leaves the door open for a potential return, it's worth noting Tyson hasn't played since Oct. 30. The rookie has been limited to just four appearances off the bench this season, so he shouldn't have a lot of upside in fantasy even if healthy.
