Luke Travers was the 56th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
However, he has yet to make his NBA debut and has been playing in Australia.
Last year, Travers averaged 12.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field and 32.7% from the three-point range in 25 games for Melbourne United.
On Wednesday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Travers will sign a two-way deal with the Cavs.
Via Wojnarowski: “Australian guard Luke Travers has agreed on a two-way deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, his agent Daniel Moldovan tells ESPN. Travers was the 56th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and had been playing with Melbourne of the NBL.”
Travers is only 22 and has significant professional experience, so he will be an intriguing addition to a talented Cavs roster.
Via Evan Dammarell of Right Down Euclid: “Luke Travers fills the #Cavs final two-way spot and Cleveland has two open roster spots with Isaac Okoro still a restricted free agent.”

The Cavs are coming off a season where they were the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 48-34 record.
They made the NBA playoffs for the second straight season and defeated the Orlando Magic in the first round (in seven games).
However, the Cavs lost to Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics in the second round (in five games).
With Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, they will be expected to be a contender to make the 2025 Eastern Conference finals.

Cleveland Browns Reveal Major Injury Update On Star Defender
![Cleveland Browns Reveal Major Injury Update On Star Defender Cleveland Browns Reveal Major Injury Update On Star Defender](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_2223,h_1250,x_0,y_359/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/browns_digest/01j6dk3bdw917p70t9d7.jpg)
Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward was back on the practice field Wednesday after missing the last two weeks while being in concussion protocol, via Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal.
Ward went into concussion protocol back on Aug. 12 after a hit in practice.
“Yeah, he’s doing well,” said head coach Kevin Stefanski. “As you know, he’s progressing. Certain benchmarks you need to hit and that type of thing, but he is doing well.”
Ward has suffered five known concussions since being entering the NFL.
The 27-year-old, who played his collegiate football at Ohio State, was selected by Cleveland with the fourth overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.
It didn’t take long for Ward to establish himself as one of the top cornerbacks in football, as he made the Pro Bowl during his rookie campaign after finishing with 53 tackles, three interceptions, a forced fumble, a couple of fumble recoveries and 11 passes defended.
Overall, Ward has made three Pro Bowl appearances, most recently earning a trip last season.
The Macedonia, Oh. native is a critical member of the Browns’ defense, which ranked No. 1 in the NFL in 2023. Cleveland also specifically finished first in passing defense last year.
Ward being back in practice is obviously significant for the Browns, especially considering they will be facing one of the league’s best wide receivers in CeeDee Lamb when they battle the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 on Sept. 8.
Hopefully, Ward will be healthy enough to take the field for the season opener.
