The Cleveland Cavaliers traded for JaVale McGee before the season in a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, to go with a future second-round pick.

In a backup 5 role, in spelling Andre Drummond for a good chunk of the campaign earlier on, he did a solid job, and at times since the arrival of Jarrett Allen via trade from the Brooklyn Nets, he’s given Cleveland some juice here and there.

Now, in relation to Drummond, his playing stint with the Cavs has concluded, last week, it was agreed between him/his representation and the Cavs that he’d be sitting in the duration of his time with them.
