The Cleveland Cavaliers announced Wednesday that they have signed forward Luke Travers to a two-way contract.
Travers, who will soon be 23, was selected 56th overall by Cleveland in the 2022 NBA draft. He did not sign an NBA contract, but played professionally in Australia.
He played 56 games for Melbourne United during the 2023–24 season. He averaged 12.4 points on .517 shooting, 7.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.33 blocks and 1.17 steals in 27.0 minutes.
Travers is an Australian NBL Cup winner and NBL champion who has played 139 games over the past five seasons, the Cavs said. Before joining Melbourne United, he played for the Perth Wildcats.
He was also a member of the Cavaliers’ Summer League team the past three years, where he averaged 7.5 points on .487 shooting, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.17 blocks in 23.2 minutes.
Travers recently left Melbourne United to play in the NBA, which the Cavs will now do on a two-way deal. He will play for the Cavs in select games this season while also playing for the Cleveland Charge.
