The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived two-way forward Chris Livingston, creating an open two-way spot on the roster, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Livingston, 20, signed his two-way contract with Cleveland in late October but appeared in only three NBA games this season. Most of his action came with the G League’s Cleveland Charge, where he averaged 16.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 25 minutes across 16 contests.
Selected 58th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2023 draft, the Akron native logged 42 NBA appearances over two seasons with Milwaukee, averaging 4.7 minutes per game. After being released by the Bucks last summer, Livingston impressed during July’s Summer League and secured a one-year, minimum deal with the Cavaliers.
The waiver gives Cleveland flexibility to add another two-way player alongside NaeQwan Tomlin and Luke Travers as the team manages ongoing injury issues.
Livingston attended Akron’s Buchtel High School and Hudson Western Reserve Academy and is represented by agent Rich Paul.
