More to come on this story and here’s more around-the-NBA Intel from @JakeLFischer and me:: https://t.co/6piW3YKcoD Via @TheSteinLine on X

What happened: The agreement followed an offseason pursuit tied to a July 20 NBA out in a Real Madrid contract. Other teams also pursued that exit path.

Why it matters: The move gives Cleveland another wing option for the upcoming season. It also marks a return to the NBA after six seasons in Europe.

What to watch: Final contract steps remain before Cleveland can incorporate the addition into its 2026-27 rotation.
