Minnesota Timberwolves prospect Norchad Omier has changed course on his contract situation, opting to join the Cleveland Cavaliers on a two-way deal instead of finalizing an agreement with Minnesota.
The forward, who had been expected to sign a two-way contract with the Timberwolves, reversed his decision and committed to Cleveland, according to a report from ClutchPoints. The move adds depth to the Cavaliers' frontcourt while leaving Minnesota to explore other options for their two-way roster spots.
Omier, who went undrafted in 2024 after a collegiate career at Miami and Baylor, had drawn interest from multiple NBA organizations during the offseason. Two-way contracts allow players to split time between an NBA team and its G League affiliate, with a limit of 50 games at the NBA level.
The Cavaliers' signing addresses their need for additional frontcourt flexibility as they navigate the early portion of the 2026-27 season. Omier will report to Cleveland's training camp ahead of the regular season opener.
