The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed guard Nik Stauskas, the team announced on Monday.
The Canadian made his debut in Cleveland’s 107-104 win over the New York Knicks on Monday night, scoring three points from the bench.
It’s been a whirlwind week for the 25-year-old, a former lottery pick.
He was acquired by the Cavaliers last weekend from Portland, one of the players returned to Cleveland in the Rodney Hood deal.
The Cavaliers then sent him to Houston as part of a three-team trade, and the Rockets shipped him to the Indiana Pacers before the NBA trading deadline last Thursday.
