Cavaliers Expected to Sign Javonte Green Following Pelicans Buyout

The veteran forward plans to join the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers after clearing waivers.

Javonte Green has agreed to a contract buyout with the New Orleans Pelicans and intends to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers, pending clearance of waivers.
The Cavaliers, currently tied for the league lead with 44 wins, are adding Green to bolster their wing depth for a potential championship run.
Green has averaged 5.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 50 games this season, including a standout performance in his last game with the Pelicans, where he logged nine points, seven rebounds, and five steals.
If finalized, Cleveland will be Green's fourth team in his six-year NBA career, following stints with the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, and Pelicans.
The addition of Green follows the Cavaliers' recent acquisition of De'Andre Hunter at the trade deadline, signaling continued roster strengthening efforts.
