The Cavaliers and former Auburn forward Chaney Johnson, an undrafted free agent, have agreed to an Exhibit 10 training camp contract, sources inform Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com (Twitter link).
As Fedor notes, the 6’7″ wing proved to be a critical contributor for the Tigers during the club’s Final Four run this spring. In 2024/25, he averaged 9.1 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 1.3 APG, 0.9 BPG and 0.7 SPG across 38 contests, mostly as a reserve.
Players inked to Exhibit 10 contracts can be promoted to two-way deals ahead of an NBA season.
Johnson could become eligible for a bonus worth up to $85K should he sign an affiliate contract with the Cavaliers’ NBAGL affiliate, the Cleveland Charge, and stick with the club for 60 or more days.
Cleveland selected two players in the second round of this year’s draft, Duke guard Tyrese Proctor and Trento wing Saliou Niang, with the Nos. 49 and 58 picks.
