On Sunday night, Patrick McCaw officially joined the Cleveland Cavaliers. And on Wednesday night, just three days after the Golden State Warriors opted to not match his non-guaranteed, two-year, $6 million deal, McCaw made his season debut.
Statistically, McCaw didn’t do too much in the Cavs loss to the Miami Heat: He totaled 2 points, 1 assists, and 1 steal, while shooting 1-2 from the field. The basket he scored, however, was rather nifty.
But in his season debut, it wasn’t the stats that anyone should care about; instead, the encouraging sign for the Cavs was that McCaw played 18 minutes, and didn’t appear winded.
