The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> and their G League affiliate have been making moves left and right in February. On Friday, the Charge acquired Victor Oladipo<\/a> in a trade with the Wisconsin Herd<\/a>. The Cavs also signed Darius Brown II to a two-way contract and waived Emanuel Miller in a subsequent transaction.<\/p>\n

Oladipo has averaged 14.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists,\u00a0 and 1.8 steals in 26 games with the Milwaukee Bucks’ G League team this season. He shot 40.0% from the field on 12.7 attempts in just under 29 minutes a night. The longtime veteran is still showing signs of athleticism and scoring ability, as well as defensive chops, despite his injury history.<\/p>\n

With a quick early-October stint in China, Oladipo faced NBA competition during the preseason<\/a>. In three games with the Guangzhou Loong Lions, he scored 58 points and recorded eight steals. The 33-year-old last appeared in the league in late April 2023 as a part of the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t believe in age, bro,\u201d Victor Oladipo told ClutchPoints in an exclusive interview on October 10. \u201cI know the world might tell me I’m 33, but I don’t feel 33. I know I’ve been through a lot, and you’ve got a decision to make once you go through a lot. It’ll make you or break you, and I choose to be made. So I’m just doing my best. I’m challenging myself every day, taking it one day at a time, and enjoying the marathon.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate move, the Cavs inked Brown to a two-way deal while waiving the recently-acquired Miller.<\/p>\n

Brown has appeared in 34 games with the Charge, averaging 12.4 points, 9.7 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.2 steals in 33 minutes per contest with .437\/.400\/.825 shooting splits. A floor general for Cleveland, he broke a single-game franchise record with 22 assists, just one away from tying a G League all-time record.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Utah State alum has spent the last two summer leagues<\/a> with the Cavs and was on the team’s training camp roster.<\/p>\n

Miller appeared in six games for the Charge, starting two of them. He is coming off a 31-point effort against the Noblesville Boom, where he shot 13-of-20 from the field, pulled down four rebounds, and recorded two assists. The 25-year-old swingman also had two steals and two blocks in the Cleveland victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cleveland Cavaliers and their G League affiliate have been making moves left and right in February.
