Jaylon Tyson's breakout campaign in his sophomore season has earned him 35 starts with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2025-26. On Thursday night, with a relatively healthy Cavaliers team, that was not where the second-year wing found himself.

Tyson came off the bench against the Brooklyn Nets. It worked out for Cavs as they hammered the Nets in a decisive 112-84 win at Rocket Arena.
