What happened

Cleveland has signed G League forward Norchad Omier to a two-way contract, according to reports, after he previously agreed to join Minnesota before reversing course.

To open the spot, the Cavaliers released 26-year-old wing Riley Minix, and Omier joins their other two-way prospects as Cleveland manages injuries and wing depth.

LINEUP CONTEXT

The move affects Cleveland's two-way rotation depth immediately, but Omier's NBA role remains uncertain until the team decides when he is ready to play.
