Italy picked up a EuroBasket win over Spain on Tuesday, but the win came at a cost. Cleveland Cavaliers 2025 draft pick Saliou Niang suffered a right ankle injury in the contest.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had two second-round picks this past draft. They selected Tyrese Proctor with the 48th pick and gave him a roster spot and standard contract for this upcoming season.
The Cleveland Cavaliers didn't come into the 2025 NBA Draft with very high hopes or expectations, as they only had two second-round picks in tow. They spent those selections on guard Tyrese Proctor out of Duke and Trento's Saliou Niang out of Italy.
2025 second-round draft pick Saliou Niang will not be donning the Wine and Gold uniform of the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. Instead, the No. 58 draft pick will continue to develop his skills with the Italian Club Virtus Bologna.
A move that was expected is now official, as Cavaliers second-round pick Saliou Niang has signed with EuroLeague club Virtus Bologna, the team announced.
The Cleveland Cavaliers kicked off their NBA 2K26 Summer League on mostly high notes. Even though they came into it without a prized first-round pick to evaluate, they still had plenty of young talent to root on.
The Cleveland Cavaliers didn't make a pick in the first round of the 2025 draft, but that doesn't mean they're void of exciting young players worth tuning in for in the NBA 2K26 Summer League.
