Cleveland Cavaliers edges closer to sign Craig Porter Jr. on four-year deal

The Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly edging closer to completing the signing of young two-way guard Craig Porter Jr.

The mid-season transfer window recently came to an end when teams finalised their strategy to strengthen the contingent for the remainder of the campaign.

NBA insider Shams Charania, in a post on his official account on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — has revealed that Porter Jr. agent has confirmed to the Athletic that the player will sign a four-year deal with the Cavaliers.

The 23-year-old is having a decent season where he is averaging 6.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. His best outing this season came in the match against the Chicago Bulls where he ended up registering 19 points to go with seven rebounds and eight assists.

Cavaliers are having an impressive season as they are placed on the top of the Central Standings with 35 wins and just 17 defeats.

In the last fixture, they suffered a rather surprising defeat against the Philadelphia 76ers with a score of 123-121 at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland on Monday. It was their first defeat after nine consecutive matches.
