Christian Eyenga (ankle) and Anthony Parker (back) are both unlikely to play against the Lakers Tuesday.

Christian Eyenga, the new starting small forward for the Cavs, missed Monday's practice with an ankle injury and was in a walking boot.

He injured the ankle on Sunday night and played through it, but it now sounds like that might have been a bad idea. That should mean more Joey Graham and Alonzo Gee if he's out, while it could also mean a few more minutes and touches for guys like Manny Harris and J.J. Hickson. Consider Eyenga questionable for Tuesday's game at the Lakers.

The Cavaliers started Christian Eyenga at SF on Sunday, and he responded with eight points, five rebounds, one steal, and two blocks. He shot 4-of-10 from the field in 27 minutes.

Eyenga twisted his ankle at one point but returned and didn't seem limited. He is well worth keeping an eye on, as he could hold onto the starting gig, but it's too early to pick him up. Alonzo Gee could steal his minutes, and Anthony Parker will too once he's healthy.

Christian Eyenga is likely to be in the starting lineup for Cleveland Sunday night when they face the Phoenix.

With Anthony Parker (back), Anderson Varejao (ankle), Joey Graham (quad), Daniel Gibson (ankle), and Leon Powe (knee) all out, the Cavs are in need of any fresh bodies they can find. While he hasn't wowed with his numbers, but he's done enough to gain the favor of coaches. If he can take advantage of this situation, he might be a surprise stat producer. Keep an eye on the situation.

Christian Eyenga made his second appearance for the Cavaliers and had 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including a 3-pointer in Wednesday's loss.

He's worth a look in extremely deep leagues, but should be ignored if you league has less than 14 teams.

The Cleveland Cavaliers recalled Christian Eyenga from the Development League team Erie BayHawks.

Eyenga has some athletic skills, but isn't expected to hold value any time soon.

Cavs sent F Christian Eyenga to the Erie Bayhawks of the NBADL.

Eyenga was the final pick of the first round in 2009. The native of Congo has never appeared in an NBA game.

Cavaliers signed forward Christian Eyenga to a four-year contract on Friday.

Eyenga played in Europe last season, but is very athletic. He was taken with the final pick of the first round in the 2009 draft by the Cavs, and he's expected to attend training camp and play for them this season.
