As a two-way player, the 22-year-old Travers could end up seeing the majority of his playing time in the G League with the Cleveland Charge during the upcoming season.

ANALYSIS Tavares decided to leave Melbourne United to pursue other professional opportunities this offseason, and the Cavaliers played a role in that decision. The plan for Travers remains in the air, as signing him to a two-way contract remains a logical alternative, but the organization wants to explore all the potential avenues. A move to Europe could be in the cards as well, as he'd have a bigger role overseas than in the NBA.
