Toronto Raptors forward Ed Davis was assigned to the Erie BayHawks, the Raptors' NBA Development League affiliate, it was announced today.  The assignment marks the fifth time in the 2010-11 season an NBA player has been assigned to an NBA D-League affiliate, and it is the first assignment for Davis, a rookie out of North Carolina.

Davis (6-10, 225) will join the BayHawks on a short-term rehabilitation and conditioning assignment.  Davis has been cleared to resume game action after sustaining a meniscus tear in his right knee before the start of training camp.  He will be placed on Toronto?s inactive list, but will remain on the team?s roster.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have assigned guard/forward Christian Eyenga to the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League, Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant announced on Thursday.

Eyenga has yet to make an appearance with the Cavaliers during the regular season. He played in six games during the preseason, averaging 4.3 points on .625 shooting and 0.8 rebounds in 11.3 minutes per game.

The Erie Bayhawks will begin their season on Friday, which means the Cavaliers can begin sending players to the D-League soon.

Cleveland rookie Christian Eyenga is a candidate for the D-League, but coach Byron Scott isn't sure if he wants to send him down just yet.

"You want to get him on the floor and get him some playing time, and if we can't do that in our games, then obviously the best thing is the D-League," Scott said.

"But right now with Mo [Williams] and Andy [Varejao] being out, bodies are short, so we kind of need him here now."

Toronto Raptors center Solomon Alabi was assigned to the Erie BayHawks, the Raptors' NBA D-League affiliate, it was announced on Monday. The assignment marks the second time in the 2010-11 season an NBA player has been assigned to an NBA D-League affiliate, and it is the first assignment for Alabi, a rookie out of Florida State.

Alabi (7-1, 251) has appeared in one game this regular season for Toronto.  He played in five preseason games, averaging 2.0 points and 1.0 rebounds in 4.8 minutes per game.
