Yesterday, Cleveland Cavaliers General Manager, David Griffin, announced in an official press release that point guard Kay Felder had been assigned to the Canton Charge (Cleveland’s D-League affiliate team).
After being selected in the second round of this year’s NBA Draft out of Oakland University, Felder, 21, appeared in 14 games for the Cavs, where he averaged 4.9 points, 1.9 assists, and 1.4 rebounds in 10.4 minutes.
After Griffin’s decision came down, Felder was deemed available for Canton’s home game against the Greensboro Swarm last night inside Canton Memorial Civic Center.
In his first appearance with the Charge, the savvy ball-handler made the most of his time on the court, racking up 33 points (12-25 FG, 2-5 3PFG), seven assists, seven rebounds, and one steal in his 38 minutes of playing time.

The Charge went on to defeat the Swarm (124-95), thanks in large part to the impressive stat-line from their new point guard.
