NBA Free Agency 2022: Raul Neto signs with the Cavaliers, according to report

Point guard Raul Neto has signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.

The deal is expected to be for one season at the veteran minimum.

Neto averaged 7.5 points and 3.1 assists per game for the Wizards in the 2021-22 season in 70 appearances. He played two seasons for Washington, primarily as a backup point guard.

In Cleveland, Neto will likely be in a similar role, considering that Ricky Rubio has re-signed with them for three years. Assuming Rubio is healthy all next season, Neto will also have a bigger chance to make the postseason.
