Cleveland Cavaliers wing Isaac Okoro will miss at least two weeks with a right shoulder acromioclavicular joint sprain, the team announced Thursday.
Okoro was injured in the third quarter of Monday's blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets.
An MRI taken Wednesday confirmed the injury.
Okoro is averaging 6.6 points and shooting a career-high 49.2% from beyond the arc. He began the year coming off the bench, but moved into the starting lineup with Max Strus sidelined.
Okoro's been a key part of the club's ninth-ranked defense. He's tied for fourth on the team in contested shots (76) and trails only Sam Merrill in charges drawn.
Cleveland selected Okoro with the fifth overall pick in 2020.
