The Cleveland Cavaliers have recalled forward Samardo Samuels from the Canton Charge.

Samuels played in two games (both starts) for the Charge, averaging 20.5 points on .567 shooting and 10.5 rebounds in 37.5 minutes per game, helping Canton win both games. Samuels has played in 18 games (one start) this season for the Cavs, averaging 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game.

The Mad Ants have traded JaJuan Johnson and their 2013 first round pick to Canton in exchange for Harangody and the Charge's third round pick in the 2013 D-League draft.

"We are all very excited about bringing Luke on board with the team," said Mad Ants president Jeff Potter. "We feel his combination of rebounding and scoring will help get this team on the right track. It is difficult to have to part with JaJuan, but we feel that Luke addresses some of our needs and could not pass on this opportunity to acquire him."

Harangody, a three time First Team All Big East player at Notre Dame, was selected in the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have assigned center Samardo Samuels to the Canton Charge, the Cavaliers’ NBA Development League affiliate. 

Samuels (6-9, 260, Louisville) has appeared in 18 games for the Cavaliers this season, averaging 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game. 

The Canton Charge have waived guard Kevin Anderson. In addition, the team has removed guard D’Aundray Brown from the inactive list and placed him on the active roster.

Anderson played in 10 games (one start) this season and averaged 8.1 points on .345 shooting with 2.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steal in 21.7 minutes per game.

Brown has played in two games this season and averaged 6.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.5 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.

The Canton Charge have signed forward Travis Franklin (6-7, 215, Colorado State) from the available player pool and placed guard D’Aundray Brown on the inactive list.

Franklin, 24, played in 35 games (two starts) with the Charge last season and averaged 7.7 points on .554 shooting with 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.1 minutes per game. In his three-year career at Colorado State University (2008-11), he played in 92 games (65 starts) and averaged 9.7 points on .513 shooting with 4.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steal in 22.7 minutes per game.
