Cavaliers re-sign Luke Travers to two-way contract

The Cavaliers have re-signed forward Luke Travers to a two-way contract on Wednesday. The 6-foot-7, 208-pounder, originally selected 56th overall by Cleveland in the 2022 NBA Draft, appeared in 12 games for the Cavs last season after signing his first two-way contract on Aug. 28, 2024. He averaged 1.0 point, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists for the Cavaliers. The Australian native also played 16 games for the G League Cleveland Charge and averaged 15.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks. Travers registered four triple-doubles, including a 25-point, 18-rebound, 10-assist performance against the Raptors 905 last Feb. 13. Prior to last season, he spent the 2023-24 campaign playing for Melbourne United in the Australian Basketball League where he averaged 12.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 steals, while shooting .517 from the field. Overall, he's played five seasons in the Australian Basketball League with Melbourne and the Perth Wildcats. Cleveland's front office offered Travers a qualifying offer last week but decided not to do the same with Emoni Bates and Chuma Okeke, who both became unrestricted free agents. Travers will likely split time between the G League and the Cavs this season and is not expected to earn a spot in coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation. Bob Finnan can be reached at rfinnan30@gmail.com.
