Xaivian Lee Commits to Gonzaga

Overview

• Xaivian Lee committed to Gonzaga, a move reported Thursday by On3 and carried by Yahoo Sports.
• A California judge granted a temporary restraining order on Aug. 18 that let Lee enter the NCAA transfer portal and claim a fifth year of eligibility.
• Lee went undrafted in 2026 and played five Summer League games for the Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging 6.4 points and 2.4 assists while shooting 21.4% from three-point range.
• The commitment technically fills Gonzaga’s 15-man roster, but the team’s final makeup remains unsettled because Nathan De Sousa, Izan Almansa and Javon Bennett are awaiting international waivers or NCAA eligibility rulings.
• Lee comes with strong college credentials from Princeton and Florida, and he will use Gonzaga’s developmental track to work on his outside shooting and improve his standing for the 2027 NBA draft.
