Small forward Caris LeVert will indeed be back with the Cavaliers.
Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, LeVert and Cleveland have agreed on a two-year, $32 million contract.
“I definitely want to be a part of this culture, be a part of this team,” LeVert told reporters after the season. “This is a super special group and I definitely want to be a part of that. But you all know it’s a business, so we’ll see what happens this summer. But I would love to come back.”
This past season, LeVert compiled averages of 12.1 points, 3.9 assists and 3.8 rebounds, shooting 43 percent from the field and 39 percent on 3-pointers. He turns 29 in August.
He also proved to be one the Cavs’ few bright spots in the playoffs, averaging 15.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in five games vs. the Knicks.
