Newman is planning to sign a 10-day hardship contract with the Cavaliers on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
In the G League, Newman was averaging 17.7 points, 4.1 assists and 3.2 rebounds across 27.3 minutes per game for the Cleveland Charge. Newman will likely serve as a depth option while Darius Garland, Cedi Osman and Dylan Windler are all sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols.
