CLEVELAND (AP) -- Center Lance Allred, the first legally deaf player in the NBA, was released by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
He played four minutes in Cleveland's 104-84 exhibition loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

Allred, who played in university for two years at Utah before transferring to Weber State, is writing a book about his disability and growing up in a polygamous sect in Utah.
