Day-To-DayCalf — LegEst. return Nov 16

Harden (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Dallas.

Harden will miss his first game of the season due to a calf issue he picked up sometime after Friday's loss to Miami. Fellow guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) will also be inactive Saturday, leaving Tyrese Proctor, Craig Porter and Meleek Thomas as Cleveland's top backcourt options.

How it's counted

Each situation shows this player's numbers in those games, with the difference from their full-season line in parentheses. The definition sits under each situation name. Situations overlap: one game can count in several.

True shooting is one shooting number that folds in threes and free throws; its differences are in points of TS%. Every final box score counts — there is no minutes cutoff. Fewer than 5 games reads as a small sample. These splits describe what happened. They do not prove the schedule caused it.
