Cavaliers president of basketball operations Koby Altman has officially announced that guard/forward Caris LeVert is returning on a multiyear contract, per a team press release.
While the Cavs didn’t offer details, the deal is for two years and $32 million, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
LeVert averaged 12.1 points, 3.9 assists and 3.8 rebounds last season, shooting 43 percent from the field and 39 percent on 3-pointers.
He also proved to be one of the Cavs’ few bright spots in the playoffs, averaging 15.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in five games vs. the Knicks.
He turns 29 in August. Along with the Cavs, he has spent time with the Pacers and Nets.
“I definitely want to be a part of this culture, be a part of this team,” LeVert said of a Cavs return 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.”
