We haven’t seen Dylan Windler in game action much of his first two seasons for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He missed all of what was formally his rookie campaign in 2019-20 because of complications involving a stress reaction in his lower left leg, for one.
Last season, Windler only appeared in 31 games due to a fourth left metacarpal fracture early on and then beginning in late March, he was sidelined from what was originally designated as back soreness. And Windler would then in late April have successful surgery on his left knee to address “ongoing tendinopathy concerns” from there, and would no longer appear in the last few weeks of 2020-21.
