Is Dennis Schroder playing tonight?

No, Schroder and Ellis won't be playing Sunday night in Portland.

Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor reported Sunday that the duo will meet the Cavs in Los Angeles for their next game, against the Clippers.

#Cavs plan is for newbies Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder to meet the team in Los Angeles — the next stop on this current road trip. Other members of the organization — who were back home to start this trip working on trade stuff — are also en route to LA for this coming week.

The Cavaliers play the Clippers on Wednesday night in a game that tips off at 10:30 p.m. ET for viewers in Cleveland, which is 7:30 p.m. local time.

Schroder and Ellis were both healthy at the time of the deal and should be good to go, although it's not clear if they'll be able to take on full rotation roles so quickly with their new team.
