O Cleveland planeja liberar Riley Minix de seu contrato two-way, segundo fontes da liga, e a medida foi confirmada no fim da quinta-feira pelo registro de transações da NBA.
A dispensa abre um lugar para Norchad Omier, um ala que teria chegado a um acordo para se juntar aos Cavaliers em um contrato two-way depois de deixar um acordo two-way provisório com o Minnesota.
Minix não foi draftado, vindo da Morehead State em 2024, passou o ano de novato em um two-way com o Spurs e assinou outro contrato two-way com o San Antonio antes de 2025/26. O ala de 2,01 m foi dispensado em dezembro e então se juntou aos Cavaliers em fevereiro, com um contrato two-way de dois anos.
Ele fez apenas 11 aparições na NBA pelos Cavs e Spurs, passando bem mais tempo na G League. Em 34 jogos da G League com o Austin e o Cleveland Charge na temporada passada, aos 26 anos, teve médias de 18,0 pontos, 6,6 rebotes, 3,0 assistências e 1,3 roubos, com 51,9%/42,8%/80,0% de aproveitamento.
Um relatório de junho o dava perto de se juntar ao clube francês ASVEL, mas nada aconteceu. Ele manteve o contrato two-way até o outono e começou a temporada em Cleveland, com uma breve aparição no lixo do jogo no sábado passado. Não está claro se ele vai olhar para o exterior ou ficar nos Estados Unidos, possivelmente na G League, enquanto busca outra chance na NBA.
