Training camp is starting to take shape across the NBA, and a few more names from the 2026 draft class are finding their way onto rosters before the season gets going.
The latest wave includes a mix of Exhibit 10 and two-way deals, the kind of contracts that give teams a closer look at young players who are still trying to carve out a lane in the league or in the G League. San Antonio, the reigning Western Conference champions, signed Miles Barnstable to an Exhibit 10 deal, according to a report from Paul Garcia.
Marc Stein reported that Boopie Miller will sign a similar contract with another Western Conference contender, the Denver Nuggets. Oklahoma City also brought in undrafted free agents Andrew Holifield and Robert McCray V on training camp contracts, while the Heat added Ian Schieffelin to its training camp roster.
Cleveland added another undrafted rookie to the mix in forward Agee, who is headed back to the Cavaliers after playing for the team’s Summer League group. Agee spent seven years in college and finished at Texas A&M, where he posted 14.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in 2025-26.
The 6-foot-7, 25-year-old also shot 49.3% from the field and 26.4% from 3-point range. He’ll be battling for a spot with Cleveland’s G League affiliate during camp, and he joins Curtis Jones and Kadary Richmond as the Cavaliers’ three training camp invites from the 2025 class.
Another player sticking with a team is Nickel, who was picked No. 47 in the 2026 NBA Draft and signed a two-way deal with the defending NBA champions. At Vanderbilt, he delivered a strong senior season, averaging 13.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting 44.5% from the field and 40% from deep on 7.6 attempts per game.
If that perimeter touch holds, he could work his way into the Knicks rotation over the coming years. At the NBA Combine, Nickel measured 6-foot-6 without shoes and had a 6-foot-8-and-a-half wingspan.
Udeh also went undrafted, but he landed a two-way contract with Cleveland after a four-year college run that took him from Kansas to TCU to Miami. As a senior with the Hurricanes in 2025-26, he averaged 6.7 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and a steal per game while shooting 72.7% from the field. The former four-star recruit measured 6-foot-9-and-a-quarter at the G League Combine, with a 7-foot-4-and-a-quarter wingspan and a weight of 257 pounds.

James Harden Gave Cleveland Fans A Moment Theyll Love To See
James Harden turned up at the Browns win over the Panthers and gave Cleveland fans a familiar face to talk about as football season rolls into basketball season. The star guard was seen supporting Deshaun Watson during Sundays 21-18 comeback victory, including a celebration after Watsons second touchdown pass, a small but notable reminder that Clevelands sports worlds can overlap in a hurry.
The Browns rallied in the fourth quarter to move to 2-1, and Hardens presence only added to the buzz around the city as the Cavaliers get ready for their own season. He is preparing to return for Clevelands upcoming basketball calendar, with training camp ahead, so this was one more sign that the citys attention is already starting to shift toward what comes next.

Why No. 25 Still Means So Much To Cavs Fans
The number 25 carries a little extra weight around the Cavaliers, and that has a lot to do with Mark Price. Cleveland retired the number for the guard who helped define an era with his passing, scoring and steady all-around play, but the jersey history goes back even farther, with names like Brokaw, Furlow, Robisch, Tillis and Anderson all wearing it before Price made it part of franchise lore.
There are other little threads that keep 25 hanging around in Cavs memory, too, from the rebounding mark of 25 in a game set by Rick Roberson and matched by Anderson Varejo to Donovan Mitchells playoff burst when he scored 19 of Clevelands 25 points in a key run. For a fan base that tracks its history closely, it is the kind of number that seems to keep resurfacing in meaningful moments, even if the bigger story around it is still the one Price helped write.

Jaylon Tyson Could Give The Cavs A Sixth Man Breakout
Jaylon Tysons second NBA season gave the Cavaliers something they can build on. He sharpened his three-point shooting, brought energy off the bench and looked increasingly comfortable in a rotation that needed exactly that kind of reliable spark. With some veteran departures and new faces around him, the path appears much clearer now than it was a year ago, and that matters for a player whose game seems to be trending up at the right time.
The next step is less about flashes than repeatability. Tyson is expected to settle into a defined role as Clevelands sixth man in his third season, which should give him both opportunity and responsibility every night. If he can keep the efficiency and edge he showed last season, he wont just be filling a need for the Cavs, he could start putting himself into the conversation for a much bigger individual leap.
