Overview

  • Long Island traded Hayes’ returning G League rights to the Cleveland Charge for a 2026 first- and second-round G League draft pick.
  • Hayes, 24, is among five players invited to the Cavaliers’ training camp at IMG Academy, per multiple reports.
  • Contract terms were not disclosed, but reports characterize it as a non-guaranteed camp deal, and Hayes is ineligible for a two-way slot so he must win a 15-man spot.
  • He logged six games with the Nets last season, averaging 9.0 points, 5.2 assists and 3.0 rebounds while hitting 38.1% from three, after posting improved shooting numbers in the G League.
  • He turned down strong interest from European clubs including ASVEL, with Real Madrid and Anadolu Efes also linked, seeking another NBA chance as Cleveland assesses backcourt depth during Darius Garland’s recovery.
