Having your time come to an end in the NBA does not mean the basketball journey is completely over. Former Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman serves as a great example of that.
Osman spent six seasons playing with the Cavaliers from 2017 through the end of 2023. The former Cavaliers sharpshooter averaged 9.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 0.7 steals in 23.6 minutes per game, connecting on 42.7 percent of his shots from the field and 35.3 percent from beyond the arc.
Osman got one more season in the NBA after his time with the Cavaliers was over.
