Rotowire
Gilyard signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Cavaliers on Tuesday, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
The Cavaliers recently acquired Gilyard's G League rights, so it's not surprising that he'll be brought in for training camp as well. He's made 42 career NBA appearances over the past two seasons, most notably drawing 14 starts for the injury-riddled Grizzlies last year.

Rotowire
Gilyard is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors due to a left hip contusion, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
The two-way guard will be back with Brooklyn for the final three games of the NBA season after he most recently suited up for the G League's Long Island Nets during their playoff run. Assuming he's available to play Wednesday, Gilyard will provide depth to the backcourt.

Gilyard and the Nets agreed to a two-way contract Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Gilyard made 37 appearances for the Grizzlies this season before the franchise let him go last week. He averaged 4.7 points, 3.5 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.2 rebounds in 17.7 minutes per game for Memphis.

Jacob Gilyard: Cut by Memphis
Rotowire
The Grizzlies waived Gilyard on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Gilyard had been one of the Grizzlies' two-way players, but because he's already been active for 48 games this season, he was eligible to appear in just two more contests for Memphis. Rather than keeping Gilyard on the roster with limited availability over the final month and a half, the Grizzlies elected to convert 10-day signee Jordan Goodwin to a two-way deal. The Grizzlies could look to bring Gilyard back on a 10-day deal once he clears waivers, though the team still has a need for another healthy body in the frontcourt with two-way player Trey Jemison facing similar limitations with his availability down the stretch. Gilyard appeared in 37 games (14 starts) for Memphis this season, averaging 4.7 points, 3.5 assists, 1.4 three-pointers, 1.2 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 17.7 minutes per contest.
