The Cleveland Charge, G League affiliate of the Cleveland Cavaliers, are getting ready for their first full season in Cleveland Public Auditorium after playing the second half of their schedule there last year. This year’s team will feature Luke Travers and Nae’Qwan Tomlin on two-way deals. They will be led by Eli Kell-Abrams as head coach.
The Charge will open the season on the road on Friday, November 7 against the Iowa Wolves. They will host the Wisconsin Herd the following week on Friday, November 14
at 7 PM for the home opener. That’s the first of back-to-back games that weekend against the Herd.
Seventeen of the Charge’s 24 home games this season will take place on the weekend. A majority of those will be on Friday and Saturday (eight games on each day).
The G League season is broken up into two parts: the Tip-Off Tournament and the regular season.
Teams will play 14 games against their region in the Tip-Off Tournament. The teams with the best winning percentage in their groups, along with the four winning percentages from teams that didn’t win their group, will advance to a single-elimination tournament that takes place from December 19-22 at the G League Winter Showcase. Teams that don’t advance to the tournament will still attend and play at least two games at the G League Showcase.
Records then reset for the start of the regular season shortly thereafter. The Charge will open the regular season at home against the Delaware Blue Coats on Friday, December 27. The regular season consists of 34 games. The top eight teams in each conference will advance to the playoffs, which begin in April.
The Charge’s full schedule can be seen below.
