Luke Travers News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers | FOX Sports

Cut loose by Cleveland The Cavaliers waived Travers on Sunday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Cleveland will part ways with Travers in order to open up one of its three two-way slots for forward Emanuel Miller, whom the team acquired Saturday in a three-team deal with the Kings and Bulls. Travers had been in the midst of his second season on a two-way deal with the Cavaliers, but he averaged just 8.6 minutes per game over his 12 appearances at the NBA level in 2025-26 and had instead seen the bulk of his action in the G League. If he clears waivers, Travers could stick around with the Cavaliers' G League affiliate, though the 24-year-old Australian might prefer to explore his options overseas.

Logs six minutes in loss Travers (hamstring) posted four points (2-2 FG), three rebounds and one steal in six minutes during Friday's 136-125 loss to the Bulls.

Impact After missing time due to a hamstring injury, the two-way player returned to the court with several Cleveland players sidelined, including Donovan Mitchell (illness). Travers has appeared in just 12 regular-season games for the parent club thus far and will likely continue spending plenty of time with the G League's Cleveland Charge.

Rare appearance Friday Travers finished Friday's 130-117 victory over the Spurs with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 10 minutes.

Impact Travers logged double-digit minutes for just the fifth time this season, taking advantage of some early foul trouble. While it is always good to see depth pieces getting a crack, there is nothing to see here in terms of potential fantasy value.

Cracks rotation in Sunday's win Travers logged three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals and one assist in 15 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 120-105 win over the Clippers.

Impact After sitting out in his most recent game with the G League's Cleveland Charge on Saturday for rest purposes, the two-way player joined the parent club for Sunday's contest while the Cavaliers had were without six players in the front end of a back-to-back set. Thanks to the many missing players, Travers was included in the rotation and ended up seeing his most minutes of the season with Cleveland. Lonzo Ball (knee) is a good bet to return to action for Monday's game in Toronto, but if Darius Garland rests and if three or four of Sam Merrill (hand), Craig Porter (hamstring), Jarrett Allen (finger) and Max Strus (foot) remain out, Travers will have a good chance at sticking in the rotation for the second game in a row.

Gets opportunity Wednesday Travers notched four points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 victory over the Heat.

Impact With Donovan Mitchell (rest), Evan Mobley (rest), Darius Garland (toe) and Jaylon Tyson (concussion) unavailable, Travers logged one of his largest minute totals of the season. He's likely to return to the fringes of the rotation when the starters are at full strength.

Moves past ankle injury Travers (ankle) played six minutes and recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two turnovers in Monday's 128-107 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact The two-way player had been out of action at both the NBA and G League level since Dec. 13 due to an ankle injury before he suited up for the Cleveland Charge in Saturday's 120-107 loss to the Westchester Knicks, playing 27 minutes while finishing with 13 points, 10 assists, four rebounds and two blocks. He then rejoined the parent club ahead of Monday's game, and he surprisingly checked into the contest with 1:40 left in the first quarter, despite having not been a part of head coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation all season. Travers went back to the bench to begin the second quarter and then didn't see the floor again until the final 4:45 of the fourth quarter. He's likely to make most of his future appearances with the Cavaliers in garbage-time scenarios.
