Cleveland Cavaliers Sign Javonte Green After Waiver Clearance

The Cleveland Cavaliers officially signed veteran forward Javonte Green after he cleared waivers following a contract buyout with the New Orleans Pelicans. Green, who averaged 5.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in 50 games with the Pelicans this season, is expected to bolster the Cavaliers' depth as they prepare for the playoffs. Known for his defensive skills, Green has a career average of 0.85 steals per game and has recorded multiple games with high steal counts, including a career-high five steals in his final game with New Orleans. The Cavaliers, currently holding a strong 46-10 record, are looking to enhance their roster with Green as they aim for a successful postseason run. His role on the team remains uncertain due to the presence of other wing players, but his defensive prowess is anticipated to be a valuable asset. Green will wear jersey number 8 with the Cavaliers as he begins this new chapter in his career.
