The Cleveland Cavaliers will sign free agent guard David Nwaba, according to multiple reports Wednesday.

According to Yahoo Sports, the final details of the contract are still being worked out. Nwaba also discussed potential deals with the Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers and other teams.

Previously a restricted free agent, Nwaba's $1.7 million qualifying offer was pulled by the Bulls in mid-July, making him an unrestricted free agent.

The 25-year-old averaged 7.9 points and 4.7 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per game across 70 appearances (21 starts) last season with the Bulls, who claimed him off waivers in July of 2017.
