Report: Cavs release X-ray results on Dylan Windler’s opening night injury

In the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2020-21 season opener against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday evening, wing Dylan Windler went down with a hard left wrist injury.

Cavs head coach J.B. Bickerstaff, however, gave some good news on Windler.

Windler was chosen with the 26th overall pick in last year’s NBA draft. He attended Belmont University, where he looked pretty impressive during his senior season.

Unfortunately, he suffered a leg injury during the 2019-20 season and did not appear in any games for the Cavs.

At 6-foot-6, Windler can play both the shooting guard and small forward positions, and he’s regarded as a great 3-point shooter.

He also has the potential to be a good rebounder in the pros, as it’s a skill set he exhibited at the college level.

Windler contributed three points and two steals for the Cavs before he got injured. The team ended up defeating the Charlotte Hornets 121-114 behind big games from Collin Sexton and Darius Garland.

He has been an avid NBA fan since he was a little kid in the mid '90s and has seen the Cavs go from NBA laughingstocks, to contenders, back to laughingstocks and finally world champions. He feels strongly that the NBA and sports aren't just entertainment, but also a means for learning life lessons.
