On Wednesday, it was reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic that the Cleveland Cavaliers will be signing rookie Brodric Thomas to a two-way contract.
Thomas, who went undrafted out of Truman State University, played with the Houston Rockets this season, averaging 2.5 points in four appearances. The Rockets waived Thomas on Feb. 13 in order to sign Ray Spalding to a two-way contract.
After his release from the Rockets, Thomas played with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the NBA G League. In eight games with the Vipers, Thomas averaged 16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, three assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.
The Cavaliers will reportedly waive Marques Bolden to make room for Thomas.

According to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, the Cavaliers are still determining whether or not to have Thomas join them in Cleveland or stay in the G League. He would be moved from the Vipers to the Canton Charge if he should remain in the G League bubble.
