Mario Hezonja is returning to the NBA after six seasons abroad, signing a one-year, $2.8 million deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, as reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania. The 31-year-old forward, who was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2015 draft, last played in the NBA during the 2019-20 season with the Portland Trail Blazers. Hezonja will join a Cavaliers team that reached the Eastern Conference finals this year and had interest from the Golden State Warriors. This opportunity allows Hezonja to revitalize his NBA career with a significant role on a competitive team.
