Georges Niang leaving Sixers for three-year, $26 million deal with Cavaliers

Georges Niang Sixers Cavaliers 76ers Cleveland the Cleveland Cavaliers Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA — Georges Niang has agreed to a three-year contract worth $26 million with the Cleveland Cavaliers and will leave the 76ers in free agency, a league source confirmed Friday.

It’s a significant raise for Niang, who signed a two-year, $6.7 million deal with the Sixers in 2021.

Niang joins an ascending Cavaliers team coming off a breakthrough season. The Cavs advanced to the playoffs for the first time since LeBron James departed in 2018. While Cleveland’s young core is set with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland in the backcourt and Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley in the frontcourt, it needed experienced bench help and long-range shooting. Max Strus and Kelly Obure Jr. were other wings reportedly also on the Cavaliers’ radar.
