Anthony Parker is expected to be the starting shooting guard for the Cavs this season.

Despite a stellar preseason performance by Daniel Gibson and strong play from Ramon Sessions, his starting job never came into question. He has shown versatility in the past and with LeBron gone there are more touches to go around, but he hasn't shown us enough to draft him in most formats.

Anthony Parker is expected to return to action Tuesday as long as the swelling in his fingers continues to decrease.

He left Thursday's game after spraining the ring and middle fingers on his right hand. Both Daniel Gibson and Ramon Sessions have played well this preseason, especially Gibson, so it's a bit unclear how Parker's role could be affected, if at all.

Anthony Parker left Thursday's game after sprained his ring and middle fingers on his right hand, and did not return.

X-rays were negative, but we wouldn't rule out him missing some time during the preseason. Most have assumed he would start at the shooting guard slot, but strong play from Daniel Gibson and Ramon Sessions combined with Byron Scott's reluctance to name starters make him hard to draft right now.

Anthony Parker will miss Sunday's game against the Magic in order to rest.

Daniel Gibson will play today, and could absorb most of Parker's minutes.

Anthony Parker had 17 points, three rebounds and two 3-pointers in Friday's loss to the Pacers.

When LeBron sat out on Thursday, Parker had just four points and six rebounds. So we know there's going to be inconsistency here. Still, as long as The King is sitting we're OK with a treys/points gamble on Parker.
