The Cleveland Cavaliers are signing two-way forward Nae’Qwan Tomlin to a two-year, $3 million fully guaranteed contract, ESPN reported on Tuesday.
An undrafted second-year player out of Memphis, Tomlin has taken on a much larger role this season.
After playing five games as a rookie last season, he’s appeared in 43 of the Cavaliers’ 54 games this season (two starts). Tomlin, 25, is averaging 6.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 17.1 minutes per game, shooting 48.7% from the floor.
Cleveland (33-21) currently sits in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, a game ahead of the Toronto Raptors and 1.5 games back of the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, who are tied for second.
