OCTOBER 15: Over three-and-a-half months after the deal was first reported, Brown has officially signed with the Cavaliers, according to RealGM’s transaction log. The team opened up a spot on its 21-man roster by waiving Jacob Gilyard.

JUNE 28: Free agent guard Darius Brown II will be signing an Exhibit 10 contract with the Cavaliers, reports Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress.com (via Twitter).

Brown, who went undrafted in 2024, had previous collegiate stops at Cal State Northridge and Montanta State before finishing out his career with Utah State in 2023/24. As a “super senior” this past season for the Aggies, he averaged 12.3 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 6.5 APG and 1.5 SPG on .446/.398/.865 shooting in 35 games (36.1 MPG).

An Exhibit 10 contract is a non-guaranteed minimum-salary deal that doesn’t count against a team’s cap unless the player makes the regular season roster. It can be converted to a two-way contract before the season begins or can put a player in line to earn a bonus worth up to $77.5K if he’s waived and then spends at least 60 days with his team’s G League affiliate.
