BRANDON GOODWIN
Sent to waivers Goodwin was waived by the Knicks on Saturday.
Headed to New York The Knicks signed Goodwin to an Exhibit 10 contract Thursday.
Impact Goodwin made 31 appearances for the Cavaliers in 2021-22, averaging 4.8 points, 2.5 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 13.9 minutes. He will likely spend the 2023-24 campaign with the Knicks' G League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks.

Reappears in loss Goodwin logged eight points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Goodwin offered support off the bench in what was nearly an impressive comeback victory for Cleveland. Since logging a 17-point, 12-assist double-double in place of Darius Garland Feb. 28, Goodwin had averaged 1.0 points and 1.8 assists across six prior contests. His bigger impact Wednesday was encouraging, but he remains nothing more than a contingency option in Cleveland.

Moves out of rotation Goodwin (coach's decision) went unused off the Cavaliers bench in Tuesday's 127-124 win over the Pacers.
Impact Since Darius Garland returned from a brief absence earlier this month, Goodwin had settled in as the top backup at point guard, playing between five and 14 minutes in the Cavs' previous three contests. However, with Rajon Rondo (toe) back in action Tuesday following a five-game absence, Goodwin was bounced out of the rotation entirely. Goodwin doesn't look like he'll be a regular on the second unit again anytime soon, and he'll have an even tougher time earning minutes once Caris LeVert (foot) is cleared to play.

Moving back to bench Goodwin will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Charlotte, Evan Dammarell of Locked On Cavs reports.
Impact Goodwin has made five spot starts in place of Darius Garland over the last month, but with Garland set to return from a back injury Wednesday, he'll move back to his usual bench role. The Cavs are still without Rajon Rondo (toe) and Caris LeVert (foot), however, so Goodwin should be in line for a decent workload off the bench. In Monday's 127-122 loss to Minnesota, Goodwin posted 17 points, a career-high 12 assists, four rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes.

Bounces back despite loss Goodwin closed with 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 127-122 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Making his second consecutive start in the absence of Rajon Rondo (toe) and Darius Garland (back), the third-string Goodwin supplied an efficient and impactful double-double. After struggling with his shot Saturday (2-11 FG), Goodwin verified he's capable of producing in a starting role. He's a streaming candidate until Garland or Rondo returns.

Starting Saturday Goodwin is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Impact With Darius Garland (back) and Rajon Rondo (toe) sidelined, Goodwin is set to make his fourth start at point guard for the Cavs. The 26-year-old is averaging 5.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists across 16.4 minutes per game this season.

Strong production off bench Goodwin finished Thursday's 106-103 loss to the Pistons with 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 24 minutes.
Impact Goodwin led the second unit in scoring and minutes played. He also facilitated well, joining Rajon Rondo as the only Cavaliers to record more than two assists. He inherits a respectable workload in backup point guard duties when Darius Garland (back) misses time. Goodwin is streamable Saturday against the Wizards.

Available Wednesday Goodwin (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Goodwin started the past three games and was questionable for Wednesday due to an illness, and he'll be available off the bench with Darius Garland (back) rejoining the lineup. Goodwin should see a significant reduction in playing time with Caris LeVert, who was recently acquired from Indiana, making his debut for Cleveland.

Recalled, questionable vs. Spurs Goodwin was recalled from the G League and is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to an illness.
Impact With Darius Garland (back) questionable and Caris LeVert (recently traded) potentially making his debut, Goodwin's role could be reduced even if he's available. He's started his past three games, but a shift back to the bench would mean competing for backup minutes at point guard with Rajon Rondo and possibly even LeVert.

Solid performance sans Garland Goodwin had 12 points (4-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists and four steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 102-101 victory over the Hornets.
Impact Goodwin continues to play well in the absence of Darius Garland (back). Over his last three contests (two starts), the fourth-year guard has averaged 13.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 31.7 minutes per game. It's unclear when Garland may return, but Goodwin appears to have carved out a sizable role in the meantime.

Will start Wednesday Goodwin will join the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rockets, Evan Dammarell of WKYC 3 News Cleveland reports.
Impact After recording a career-high 21 points Monday, Goodwin will start Wednesday in place of Darius Garland, who is out once again with a back injury. Cedi Osman ran the point for most of Monday's matchup leading to just one assist for Goodwin, so the 26-year-old may be able to show off more of his playmaking skills Wednesday. If Goodwin can stay hot and put on another performance like Monday's, he may find himself in line for a more stable spot in the rotation.
