The final two-way spot has been a revolving door this season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They made another move on Tuesday. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Darius Brown II is out, and Olivier Sarr is in.
Brown has spent the last two seasons with the Cleveland Charge, G League affiliate of the Cavs. This season, he’s averaged 12.5 points, 9.6 assists, and 3.8 rebounds on .434/.398/.839 shooting splits in 33 games. He appeared in only one game with the Cavs this season.

Sarr is the older brother of Washington Wizards’ young French star Alex Sarr.
The elder Sarr has bounced around with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers, and Toronto Raptors over the last few seasons. He was originally signed by the Thunder in Oct. 2021 and had stints with OKC over the next three seasons, but was mostly with their G League team, the Oklahoma City Blue.
Sarr spent this most recent training camp with the Raptors and has been with their G League affiliate this season. The 6’10”, 27-year-old has averaged 11.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.4 assists per game on .506/.388/.708 shooting splits in 30 outings with the Raptors 905.
We’ll see whether Sarr is on the Cavs long-term radar. Right now, this seems like a move to help fill the void at center that Norchad Omier left behind when he signed a two-way deal with the Los Angeles Clippers a few weeks ago.
The Charge are in the midst of a strong regular season. They’re 17-8 and currently sit third in the Eastern Conference and are in a good position to make a playoff run.
