INDEPENDENCE: The Cavaliers added a point guard to the roster Monday who they hope can contribute behind starter Kyrie Irving.
Cavs General Manager David Griffin announced the signing of point guard Toney Douglas to a contract and waived forward-center Eric Moreland. Per league and team policy, terms of the contract were not released.
“He was here watching [practice] on the side,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said of Douglas on Monday. “Just coming in and getting through training camp, not wearing Kyrie down playing a lot of games and a lot of minutes [is important]. We don’t have a third point guard right now so when Kyrie is off the floor we have to have at least two point guards that can play.
