Michael Scotto: The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived two-way forward Chris Livingston, league sources told @hoopshype .
Michael Scotto: The Cleveland Cavaliers and forward Chris Livingston have agreed to a two-way deal, league sources told @hoopshype . The 22-year-old forward spent the past two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks. Livingston also averaged 18.1 points on 63% true shooting in the G League last season.
Bobby Portis: And you know, one guy I want to show love to — even though he got waived — is Chris Livingston. I honestly thought he should’ve made the roster. He’s a great talent. He just has to figure out the right fit, the right system — and when he does, he’s going to have a great career. I think he deserves another shot somewhere, for sure.”
Shams Charania: The Bucks have also waived forward Tyler Smith, their second-round pick in 2024, sources tell ESPN. Milwaukee keeps Amir Coffey and Andre Jackson Jr. on the regular season roster by waiving Smith and Chris Livingston.

Michael Scotto: The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Chris Livingston, league sources told @hoopshype . Livingston had a non-guaranteed $2.22 million salary for the 2025-26 season that would’ve triggered if he remained on the roster past July 15. The 21-year-old forward spent two seasons in Milwaukee.
Right now, that leaves Milwaukee with $19.6 million in cap room. They likely will get to the $24 million they need to sign Myles Turner to a four-year, $107 million deal by moving off of Pat Connaughton's $9.3 million salary. In the absence of a Connaughton trade, Milwaukee can get to $24.6 million in cap room by stretching Connaughton's contract, so that seems the most likely mechanism for this deal to get done. Milwaukee will also need to either pull its qualifying offer to Ryan Rollins or waive Chris Livingston to get there.
