Guard Kobi Simmons is the next player the Cleveland Cavaliers will be giving a shot at proving himself this season. The 10-day contract reportedly given to Simmons today (as was announced by general manager Koby Altman, h/t the Cleveland Cavaliers) is a reasonable move, and it comes shortly after Cleveland reportedly did not sign Cameron Payne through the rest of the season (h/t The Athletic’s Joe Vardon).
Simmons was initially on the Cavaliers’ training camp roster before the season, in which he appeared in four preseason games. Those games are not the easiest ways for a player to prove themselves, and Simmons didn’t show much to warrant an opening night roster spot following that stretch.
