Cedi Osman won't play on Saturday against Chicago because of back spasms

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers swingman Cedi Osman has joined the lengthy list of players that won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Osman left Wednesday's loss against Oklahoma City midway through the first quarter with lower back spasms and walked gingerly out of the arena later that night. The Cavs were hoping the day off would help, but head coach Larry Drew ruled him out of Saturday's game and the Cavs "will see how he is" after the game before making any determination about his status moving forward.

Ahead of Wednesday's game, Drew moved Osman to power forward, needing his size with Sam Dekker and Kevin Love already out. That put JR Smith into the starting lineup at small forward.

Osman's back injury means Drew will have to shuffle his starting lineup once again.

Cleveland Cavaliers sign Andrew Harrison to Two-Way contract

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers officially signed Andrew Harrison to a Two-Way contract on Friday.

With the injuries continuing to pile up, including the latest with point guard George Hill who is out two weeks with a right shoulder sprain, the Cavs needed to add more playable depth.

"We're down in bodies and we really needed to add another ball-handler," head coach Larry Drew told reporters following Friday's practice. "That's the reason we brought Andrew in. I'm really excited about him because at that point guard spot he gives us some size. That was one of the intriguing things about him. I remember just playing against him, how he's played well. I'm real excited to have him."

Harrison, a 6-foot-6 combo guard, appeared in 128 games, making 64 starts, with the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons. He was waived after just one game this year.
