Cavs To Convert RJ Nembhard, Sign Moses Brown To Two-Way

Mar 31, 2022 9:18 AM

The Cleveland Cavaliers are doing some roster shuffling in the season's final weeks. Cleveland is planning to convert guard R.J. Nembhard's Two-Way contract to a standard deal. The Cavs will then sign center Moses Brown to the open Two-Way spot.

Nembhard has appeared in just 13 NBA games as a rookie. In 13 games (12 starts) with the Cleveland Charge of the G League, Nembhard has averaged 22.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists.

Brown recently completed a second 10-day deal with the Cavaliers. In eight games, Brown gave Cleveland some much-needed depth after the injury to Jarrett Allen, and subsequent injury to Evan Mobley. Now, he'll stick with the Cavs for the remainder of the season, but he will not be eligible to play in the postseason. Two-Way players aren't eligible to play in the Play-In Tournament nor playoffs.

Evan Mobley Sprains Left Ankle, X-Rays Negative

Mar 29, 2022 12:30 PM

Evan Mobley landed awkwardly on his left ankle during Monday's game, but x-rays were negative, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

There was no initial read on the severity of the injury and Mobley simply said the ankle was "sore."

“The injuries have kind of piled up and taken a toll on our depth,” J.B. Bickerstaff said. “But what we focus on is how connected the guys have continued to be and how much they want each other to be successful, how much they’ve bought into one another and bought into the team and played for something bigger than themselves. That’s continued from the beginning of the year until now.”
