Kabengele, who was originally drafted in 2019 by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 27th overall pick, was signed by the Cavaliers to the first of two 10-day contracts earlier this month. He was picked up after being released by the Sacramento Kings just over a month ago.
In his six games with the Cavaliers, Kabengele has seen minimal action, averaging 2.8 points and 1.3 rebounds per contest.
However, Kabengele won’t turn 24 until this August, with the Cavaliers likely envisioning him as another potential talent who simply needs to further develop his talents.
The fact that Kabengele’s deal with the Cavs involves non-guaranteed contracts for the next two seasons means that the Cavs see this as a low-risk move with hope that his skills will blossom.
