According to an official report from the team, Cavs rookies Cedi Osman and Ante Zizic have been sent to Canton for the Charge’s G-League matchup against the Long Island Nets (4-4, third in the Atlantic Division) on Saturday night.
This marks Osman’s first appearance with the Charge, who are currently the fifth-ranked team in the Central Division Standings with a 2-4 overall record.
Osman, a Macedonian-born player who the Cavs acquired in the 2017 offseason, doesn’t get much playing time, but he has appeared in their last four games. In his 11 games played for the Cavs this season, the former Turkish Cup winner (2015) has recorded averages of 1.5 points on 50 percent shooting from the field and 1.0 rebound.
Zizic, a 6-11 Croatian big who the Cavs acquired in their offseason deal with the Boston Celtics, will be making his second appearance inside Canton Memorial Civic Center. In his first game with the Charge — a game against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants on November 20 — Zizic posted 14 points and 16 rebounds in 28 minutes of playing time.
Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports that John Holland and London Perrantes, two of Cleveland’s “two-way” players, will likely suit up for Canton tonight as well.
Saturday night’s game between the Charge and Nets is scheduled to tip at 7:00 p.m. EST. According to the Charge’s official website, the first 1,500 patrons 16 & under will receive a Charge youth football as part of their Youth Football Night. Adults will receive a 2-for-1 admission pass for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
