Cavaliers' Elijah Hughes: Latches on with Cavs
Hughes signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Cavaliers on Wednesday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Cleveland obtains Hughes' G League rights with the deal, which is where Hughes is expected to spend most of the 2024-25 campaign. The 26-year-old hasn't played in an NBA regular-season game since 2021 and spent last year with Milwaukee's G League affiliate team, the Wisconsin Herd.

Elijah Hughes: Scores 22 points
Hughes logged 22 points (9-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 35 minutes during the Herd's 119-114 loss to Maine on Wednesday.
Hughes continues to benefit from unavailable teammates, which included AJ Green and Lindell Wigginton (both part of Milwaukee's roster at the moment) on Wednesday. Across the 2023 Herd's short schedule remaining, Hughes is expected to be a significant contributor to their offense.

Elijah Hughes: Logs 29 points, five steals
Hughes logged 29 points (11-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and five steals across 42 minutes during the Herd's 132-131 overtime win over Lakeland on Thursday.
Benefiting from extra minutes given because of multiple teammate absences and overtime, Hughes logged his best point and steal tallies of the 2022-23 season. The Herd's backcourt has lacked depth of late, allowing Hughes to play a larger workload than usual.

Elijah Hughes: Scores 18 points
Hughes (undisclosed) logged 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and three assists across 31 minutes during the Herd's 141-130 win over Capital City on Friday.
Fortunately for Hughes, he sat out only once because of the undisclosed problem that prevented him from playing Wisconsin's previous game. Currently, he is averaging 15.8 points as a Herd player. Though those are not enough to replace Jordan Bone or Lindell Wigginton to be part of the Herd's starting backcourt, Hughes has the scoring prowess to be their sixth man.

Hughes logged 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 42 minutes during the Herd's 115-112 win over Greensboro on Friday.
Hughes was added to Wisconsin's starting lineup in place of Paris Bass. Though the change benefited Hughes, it is not expected to be permanent. After all, Bass has been excellent across January, and he continued to be so against Greensboro by logging 34 points and 12 rebounds as a backup option Friday.

Hughes has an average of 14.3 points across his last four G League games. While the guard is healthy, he will be a part of Wisconsin's backup backcourt, with Jordan Bone and Lindell Wigginton being more preferred.
