The Cavaliers intend to hire Trail Blazers head video coordinator Eli Kell-Abrams as the coach of the G League’s Cleveland Charge, as reported by HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.
Kell-Abrams spent the past two seasons in his position with Portland. Before that, he was head video coordinator with the 76ers for two seasons, and assistant video coordinator and video intern with the Heat.
Also, per the Blazers media guide:
“Kell-Abrams gained coaching experience as an Assistant Coach at Saint Thomas Aquinas College from 2017-18 and a Graduate Assistant Coach at the University of Miami for two seasons from 2015-17.
“He was a four-year starting point guard at Emerson College and was awarded GNAC Rookie of the Year in 2012. As a player, Kell-Abrams led his team to two NCAA Tournament appearances (2016, 2017), including a Sweet 16 in 2016.”
The Charge finished 16-18 last season, 11th in the G League Eastern Conference.
