Cavaliers Waive Two-Way Player Chris Livingston

The Cavaliers have waived two-way player Chris Livingston, Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype tweets.

Livingston signed his two-way deal in late October. He appeared in just three games with the Cavaliers this season. He’s seen action in 16 NBA G League contests with the Cleveland Charge, averaging 16.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 25 minutes per game.

The 58th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Livingston spent his first two NBA seasons on a standard deal with Milwaukee, the team that drafted him. He rarely played for the Bucks, averaging just 4.7 minutes per game across 42 total appearances over that span.

The 6’6″ small forward played well for the Bucks’ Summer League team last July, earning a new one-year, minimum-salary contract in Milwaukee after having been waived two weeks earlier. That contract was fully guaranteed, but the Bucks decided to release him again ahead of the regular season due to a roster crunch.

Cleveland, which has been dealing with a number of injuries, can now add another player on a two-way deal. Forward Nae’Qwan Tomlin and  wing Luke Travers are their other two-way players.
