On Wednesday, it was reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic that the Cleveland Cavaliers will be signing rookie Brodric Thomas to a two-way contract.
Thomas, who went undrafted out of Truman State University, played with the Houston Rockets this season, averaging 2.5 points in four appearances. The Rockets waived Thomas on Feb. 13 in order to sign Ray Spalding to a two-way contract.
After his release from the Rockets, Thomas played with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the NBA G League. In eight games with the Vipers, Thomas averaged 16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, three assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.
The Cavaliers will reportedly waive Marques Bolden to make room for Thomas.
