In a corresponding move, the Cavs waived forward Emanuel Miller, whom they acquired just a few weeks ago in the three-way deal with the Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Brown, who went undrafted out of Utah State in 2024, has put together a quality season for the Charge to the tune of 12.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 9.7 assists, and 2.2 steals per game. On January 9th, Brown dished out a franchise-record 22 assists against the Texas Legends, narrowly missing the NBA G League record of 23 assists in a single game. Brown is averaging the third-most assists per game in the G League and is shooting 40% from three-point territory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Cavs have been doing plenty of shifting around with their bench players and G League two-way deals. The team opened up a roster spot with the salary-dump of Lonzo Ball to eventually sign Charge teammate Nae\u2019Qwan Tomlin to a standard NBA deal. Luke Travers was also waived during the heat of the NBA trade deadline, further opening a spot that has now been filled by Brown. Charge forward Tristan Enaruna and guard Riley Minix have also received two-way deals from the Cavs to round out the available slots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There are several instances across the league of two-way players not only finding minutes at the NBA level, but carving out meaningful roles. Tomlin is one of the brighter examples in the league, but Pat Spencer (Golden State), Daniss Jenkins (Detroit), and Dom Barlow (Philadelphia) are just a few others that have found great success through the G League track. Once seen as an afterthought, is now looked at as a meaningful pathway to the NBA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cleveland Cavaliers announced that they have signed Darius Brown II to a two-way contract.
