Update: As expected, Cavs waive Pelle on Saturday night.
The Cleveland Cavaliers signed former 76ers C Norvel Pelle and converted center Marques Bolden into a two-way contract, the team announced today.
Also, the team waived two-way player Matt Mooney, guard/forwards Levi Randolph and Charles Matthews.
According to cleveland.com’s Chris Fedor, Pelle signed an Exhibit 10 contract, sources say, that could allow the Cavs to control his G League rights. Pelle will be waived later this evening, so the Cavs won’t be over the roster limit.
The 27-year-old Pelle, who was waived by the Philadelphia 76ers in November, appeared in 24 games for the Philadelphia 76ers last season, averaging 2.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 9.7 minutes. Pelle is a good athlete and a decent shot blocker.
Bolden, 22, appeared in all four Cavaliers preseason games this year and played in one game for the Cavs last season after signing a 10-day contract on Jan. 30, 2020. In 2019-20 with the Canton Charge, the Cavaliers’ exclusively owned and operated NBA G League affiliate, averaging 9.7 points on .596 shooting, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 18.9 minutes.
