The Cleveland Charge opened their NBA G League season with a 142-122 loss to the Motor City Cruise on Tuesday night.
The Charge, the Cleveland Cavaliers' affiliate, fell behind early and could not overcome the Cruise's high-powered offense. Motor City, the Detroit Pistons' affiliate, shot efficiently throughout the game to secure the victory.
Both teams feature players on two-way contracts and assignment players from their NBA parent clubs. The game marked the start of the 2026-27 G League regular season.
