Omri Casspi - G/F - Cavaliers

Omri Casspi and the Cavs are discussing a buyout, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

The Cavs announced that Omri Casspi does not have a timetable to return from his appendectomy.

He went to an Orlando hospital for the procedure and he is back in Cleveland. It's good to hear that Casspi is on the road to recovery, but he has no fantasy value.

Omri Casspi - G/F - Cavaliers

Omri Casspi had an appendectomy on Saturday and he will not play during the Cavaliers' current three-game road trip.

The good news is that he's in fine condition and we have an explanation for his mysterious abdominal pain. He hasn't been part of the Cavs' plans lately anyway and is apparently not in the team's future plans, so this shouldn't impact fantasy rosters.

Omri Casspi is dealing with an acute abdominal issue and was taken to an Orlando hospital.

He will stay at the hospital for an undisclosed time. We'll pass along any information about the details as soon as they're available. Casspi has been out of the rotation and won't play tonight against the Magic.

Omri Casspi denied a Yahoo! report that he had asked for a trade.

"I don't have any other focus but help my team win," he said. "Whatever the future holds will happen." That's not exactly an outright denial, and given his role in Cleveland, it's hard not to believe he'd welcome a trade to a different team.

Omri Casspi - G/F - Cavaliers

Omri Casspi has requested a trade, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

It's not a surprise. Casspi is on the outside looking in to crack the rotation, and he hasn't played since December 21. Still just 24 years old, Casspi could draw interest from a team needing help on the wing. He's averaging 4.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 3-pointers on 39.2 percent shooting.

Omri Casspi - G/F - Cavaliers

Omri Casspi will not play on Friday due to an upset stomach.

Casspi's absence gives Byron Scott little choice but to run with surging C.J. Miles, regardless of Miles' defensive and shot selection issues. Barring a surprise, Miles will have plenty of opportunities to score tonight.

Omri Casspi has an upset stomach and won't play against the Pacers on Wednesday.

After starting for an injured Dion Waiters on Dec. 3, Casspi has returned to a reserve role. He's averaging just 5.2 points and 2.6 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per game this year and should be on the waiver wire in most leagues. Expect to see more of Jeremy Pargo and C.J. Miles with Casspi out.

Omri Casspi - G/F - Cavaliers

Omri Casspi drew a start for the injured Dion Waiters (ankle) on Monday and had 10 points, four rebounds and two 3-pointers in 28 minutes against the Pistons.

Casspi was out of the rotation earlier this year and came in averaging just 6.0 points. Dion Waiters shouldn't be out too long, so we'd leave Omri on the wire in all but the deepest of leagues.

Omri Casspi - G/F - Cavaliers

Omri Casspi will start at SF for the injured Cavs on Monday, shifting Alonzo Gee to SG.

Casspi has settled into a 15-minute bench role lately, but Dion Waiters' ankle injury forced Byron Scott to shuffle his lineup once more. If you need a quick hit of 3-pointers and points, give Casspi a glance.
