  • Cavaliers' Cory Jefferson: Inks training camp deal with Cleveland

    Jefferson agreed Wednesday on a training camp contract with the Cavaliers, international basketball writer David Pick reports.

    Jefferson was able to crack the Suns' 15-man roster on a training camp invite last season, but he'll be hard pressed to do the same with the defending champs. He lasted only eight games with Phoenix in 2015-16, averaging 2.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 6.3 minutes per contest before getting waived in January.

  • Suns' Cory Jefferson: Becomes free agent

    Jefferson's 10-day contract with the Suns recently expired, making him a free agent.

  • Suns' Cory Jefferson: Signs 10-day contract

    Jefferson signed a 10-day contract with the Suns on Wednesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.

    The Suns had an open spot available on their roster and have three forwards (Markieff Morris, Jon Leuer, and Mirza Teletovic) dealing with injuries, so it makes sense for them to bring Jefferson in as emergency depth. The 25-year-old previously appeared in six games with the Suns and averaged two points and 1.7 boards over 4.7 minutes per contest before he was waived two weeks ago.

    Jefferson has been waived by the Suns, Shams Charania of Yahoo reports.

    Jefferson has played in just one game for only eight minutes in the past two weeks and has appeared just six times for the Suns all year, scoring 2.0 points per game. Jefferson averaged 12.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per 36 minutes in 50 games for the Nets last season and could continue to intrigue NBA teams because of his size (listed at 6-9, 218 pounds).

  • Suns' Cory Jefferson: Remains out of lineup Monday

    Jefferson (coach's decision) didn't receive any minutes in Monday's 120-101 over the Lakers.

  • Suns' Cory Jefferson: Makes Suns' Opening night roster

    Jefferson made the Suns' Opening night roster, Shams Charnia of Yahoo! Sports reports.

    The second-year forward out of Baylor played for Brooklyn last season. He averaged 3.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks in 10.6 minutes per game. Jefferson likely won't crack the front court rotation early on, but he'll have the opportunity to earn minutes as the season progresses.

  • Suns' Cory Jefferson: Scores two points Wednesday

    Jefferson netted two points (1-3 FG) and pulled down five rebounds in nine minutes for Phoenix in their 99-87 win over the Mavericks.

    The second year power forward saw the most minutes he's seen all preseason Wednesday night. However, it was only nine minutes and when the regular season begins there won't likely be too many games that he'll see double-digit minutes. He is currently coming behind Markieff Morris, Mirza Teletovic, and Jon Leuer at power forward, and small forwards PJ Tucker and TJ Warren could steal Jefferson's minutes as well.
