Cavs announce 2026 NBA Summer League roster

July 3, 2026 - 04:11

The Cleveland Cavaliers have officially announced their roster for the 2026 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, with forward Nae'Qwan Tomlin among the players set to compete. Tomlin, who went undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft, has spent the past two seasons developing in the G League and with various summer league squads. His inclusion in this year's lineup signals the Cavs' continued interest in evaluating his potential as a two-way contributor.

The roster features a mix of recent draft picks, second-year players, and undrafted free agents looking to earn a spot on the main roster or secure a two-way contract. Cleveland's summer league schedule will tip off in early July, with games held at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. The team will be coached by a member of the Cavaliers' developmental staff, focusing on player growth and system integration.

Tomlin, known for his athleticism and defensive versatility, averaged 8.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in 18 G League games last season. His ability to guard multiple positions could make him a valuable asset in the Cavs' rotation if he impresses during the summer league. The full roster also includes several international prospects and players with prior NBA experience, giving Cleveland a deep pool of talent to evaluate before training camp begins in the fall.
