O.J. Mayo (hamstring) is expected to make his season debut Thursday in Cleveland.

Mayo (hamstring) is expected to make his season debut Thursday in Cleveland, Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio reports.

Analysis:

Mayo is yet to play this season due a hamstring issue that's lingered from the preseason, but he's been accelerating his activity level of late, and the expectation is that he'll be available off the bench Thursday. Both Greivis Vasquez an Jerryd Bayless have seen big minutes off the bench behind Michael Carter-Williams, who's missed a few games due to injury, and it's unclear exactly where Mayo immediately fits in.
