Luke Travers' time with the Cleveland Cavaliers looks to be over, after the NBA franchise reportedly waived him on Sunday AEDT.
According to ESPN’s Olgun Uluc, the West Australian was waived from his two-way deal with the Cavaliers as part of a three-way trade that saw De'Andre Hunter go to Sacramento, Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis to the Cavs and Dario Saric landing in Chicago.
Travers, who was selected with the 56th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, signed with Cleveland in August 2024 and has spent the majority of the past two seasons playing with the Charge, the franchise’s G League affiliate.
