Dellavedova missed Sunday's practice with lower-back soreness, Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com reports.
Analysis:
The injury isn't expected to keep Dellavedova on the sidelines for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, but he'll likely have to get accustomed to spending more time in the bench in any event. With Iman Shumpert (wrist) returning to action Friday and Kyrie Irving targeting a return over the coming weekend, Dellavedova will soon lose out on his starting point guard role and the hefty minutes that come with it. Expect him to ultimately see his playing time settle around 20 minutes per game, which is what he averaged with the Cavaliers over 67 contests in 2014-15.
