Chuma Okeke: Breaking News

Team optioned declined

The Cavaliers declined their $2.55 million team option in Okeke's contract for 2025-26 on Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Okeke is now set to explore other opportunities in unrestricted free agency. The 26-year-old forward latched on with the Cavaliers in April 2025 on a one-year deal with a team option for a second season. He spent time with both Philadelphia and Cleveland during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 5.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 21.8 minutes per game in nine regular-season appearances (three starts).

Inks pact with Cleveland

The Cavaliers signed Okeke to a two-year contract Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Okeke will fill Cleveland's final roster spot after signing two 10-day contracts with the 76ers this season. The 26-year-old forward made seven appearances (three starts) with the Sixers, averaging 6.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 24.4 minutes per contest. However, Okeke is unlikely to carve out a significant role in Cleveland's rotation unless injuries arise.

Headed to Westchester

The G League's Westchester Knicks acquired Okeke on Wednesday. Okeke signed a second 10-day contract with the 76ers on March 16 and started in Philadelphia's last three games. His contract expired Tuesday, and with the 76ers opting not to sign Okeke to a rest-of-season contract, he will finish the G League regular season in Westchester.
