Tacko Fall: Dropped by Cleveland
The Cavaliers waived Fall on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
With the likes of Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley and Ed Davis all representing more traditional centers and Kevin Love and Lauri Markkanen on hand as floor-stretching options at the five, the Cavaliers didn't have much of a need to keep the 7-foot-6 Fall around as a depth piece. He appeared in just 11 games for the NBA team this season, averaging 1.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 5.4 minutes. With the losses of Collin Sexton (knee) and Ricky Rubio (knee) testing its depth in the backcourt, Cleveland will cut Fall loose and hand his two-way spot to a guard (Brandon Goodwin).
