An MRI on Cleveland Cavaliers rookie guard Dion Waiters revealed a contused left ring finger, but he is cleared to play, according to a team release.

Also, a repeat MRI and electromyogram (EMG) on Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson confirmed a contused right elbow, and he is day-to-day. An EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. Nerve conduction studies measure how well and how fast the nerves can send electrical signals.

The 3-12 Cavs play next on Friday at the Atlanta Hawks.
