On Monday, the Cleveland Cavaliers made a minor offseason splash when they announced that they had come to terms with free agent guard David Nwaba.
Nwaba’s versatility and on-court energy will certainly allow him to slip right into the Cavs’ projected rotation this season. It also seems like he’s going to slip right into the locker room as well.
Shortly after his signing was announced, Nwaba’s former Los Angeles Lakers teammate and current Cavs teammate Larry Nance Jr. took to Twitter to celebrate the news.
Yessir @dnwaba0 let’s get it bro!! 💪🏼💪🏼

Nance and Nwaba were teammates during Nwaba’s rookie year in Los Angeles. Following the 2016-17 season, Nwaba was claimed off of waivers by the Chicago Bulls. He went on to play in 70 games, including 21 starts, and averaged 7.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game.
If Nance’s excitement regarding the signing is of any indication, it seems fans can expect Nwaba to only improve his numbers during the 2018-19-season.
