Near the closing stretch of last season for the Cleveland Cavaliers, them then adding Mfiondu Kabengele via 10-day deal was not something that was notable.
Kabengele, who was previously a late first-round pick by the LA Clippers in 2019, didn’t have much of an opportunity in NBA action to prove himself. With the Clippers as a contender and him being more so a developmental player, that wasn’t shocking, though.
Kabengele did show fairly encouraging signs with LA’s G-League affiliate, the Agua Caliente Clippers in 2019-20, on the plus side.
