Cavaliers Sign Akron Native Chris Livingston to Final Two-Way Deal

Cleveland uses its last two-way slot on a local wing with G League seasoning.

Overview

  • The signing fills the Cavaliers’ third two-way position and brings the roster to 18, with Livingston joining Nae’Qwan Tomlin and Luke Travers in the two-way group.
  • Milwaukee waived Livingston on Oct. 16 after giving him a one-year, $2.3 million deal in the offseason.
  • Cleveland Charge GM Liron Finan called the addition a no-brainer based on scouting evaluations, and head coach Kenny Atkinson voiced trust in the front office’s choice.
  • Livingston, 22, appeared in 42 NBA games with limited minutes, logged 39 G League games with the Wisconsin Herd, and played in three consecutive summer leagues.
  • Team assessments cite athleticism, rebounding, and defensive activity as strengths, with shooting consistency and turnovers flagged for improvement after a 37.1% to 30.1% G League three-point dip.
