The Cleveland Cavaliers are interested in Deni Avdija heading into the 2020 NBA Draft, according to Chris Fedor of cleveland.com

Fedor adds that the Cavs had done "extensive work" in scouting Avdija, who currently plays for Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Koby Altman, assistant GM Mike Gansey, and director of scouting Brandon Weems have each made overseas trips to watch Avdija in person.

Onyeka Okongwu is also an intriguing prospect for the Cavs, with Altman watching a USC practice and game earlier this season.

The New York Knicks have identified Brock Aller as a strong candidate to join their front office under Leon Rose.

Aller is currently a apologist for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Aller served as a personal assistant to Dan Gilbert for 10 years before this promotion in 2017 to senior director of basketball operations. 

“(Aller)'s probably one of the finer capologists in the league,” Gilbert told Cleveland.com in 2017. "He knows more about the cap than probably PricewaterhouseCoopers knows about the IRS code. He lives with the cap, with the collective bargaining agreement.

"He comes up with ideas on things that the league has never heard of, they have to go into their committees to check if it's OK or not. He's sort of a savant with this. He's a space-creator, the kind of space that (Cavs GM Koby Altman) will need in the cap. He was involved in probably every trade the last few years in a creative sense.”

Players from the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, and Detroit Pistons were told to self-quaratine after Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus.

The Jazz played the aforementioned teams within the last 10 days.

The Thunder, set to play the Jazz, were cleared to leave Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Jazz players are set to remain at the arena after they were tested for coronavirus and await results. 

J.B. Bickerstaff has agreed to a multi-year deal to remain head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bickerstaff replaced John Beilein as head coach last month.

Bickerstaff was hired as an assistant coach this past offseason with the expectation he would eventually succeed Beilein. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed guard Sheldon Mac to a 10-day contract.

Mac (6-5, 198) has appeared in 41 games (two starts) this season with the Canton Charge, averaging 15.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.0 minutes per game. He played in Canton’s road contest against the Erie BayHawks last night, finishing with 19 points, five rebounds and three steals in 28 minutes. Mac, who went undrafted in the 2016 NBA Draft out of the University of Miami, appeared in 30 games (three starts) with Washington in 2016-17 as well as seven games for the Wizards during the 2017 NBA Playoffs.

The Cavaliers’ roster now stands at 17, including two Two-Way players.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will sign Sir’Dominic Pointer to a 10-day contract.

Pointer was selected by the Cavaliers with the 53rd pick of the 2015 NBA Draft. Pointer played internationally for several seasons before returning to play for the Canton Charge over the past two seasons.

Pointer is averaging 12.0 points on 44.4% from the field and 34.2% from 3-point range to go with 5.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.9 steals in 41 games.
