Inks 10-day deal with Cleveland Cooper signed a 10-day deal with the Cavaliers on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact A 2021 second-round pick by Atlanta, Cooper hasn't appeared in an NBA game since his rookie campaign, when he made 13 appearances for the Hawks. He has spent the last two seasons with the G League's Cleveland Charge and averaged 18.1 points on 45.3 percent shooting across 34 appearances for them this season. Outside of Ty Jerome (ankle), Cleveland's backcourt is healthy, so Cooper won't be guaranteed playing time.

Signs with Cleveland Cooper signed a contract with the Cavaliers on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact Cooper spent the second half of the 2022-23 campaign with the G League's Cleveland Charge, and he'll now join the Cavaliers ahead of the 2023-24 season. He'll presumably have the chance to compete for a roster spot during camp, but it's certainly possible he winds up back in the G League once the season gets underway.

Transferred to parent club Cooper was transferred from the G League's College Park Skyhawks to Atlanta on Wednesday.
Impact College Park's season ended Tuesday following a 131-122 loss to the Capital City Go-Go during the G League playoffs. The rookie second-round pick has made 11 appearances at the NBA level this season, but he's unlikely to crack Atlanta's rotation during the final week of the regular season.

Impact Cooper was recalled by Atlanta on Thursday and didn't see the court during the 130-124 win over the Bulls. The 20-year-old has averaged 15.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists over 29.1 minutes in the G League this season.

Called up by Atlanta The Hawks recalled Cooper from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday.
Impact Atlanta is likely bringing the two-way player back in advance of Thursday's game against the Bulls as an insurance option out of the backcourt in the event Trae Young (ankle) -- who is listed as a game-time decision -- doesn't play. The Hawks are still likely to turn to Delon Wright as the starting point guard if Young sits, so Cooper will probably be in store for nothing more than a limited role as Wright's backup in that scenario.

Back with parent club The Hawks recalled Cooper from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.
Impact Cooper will rejoin the NBA team ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kings, though he's unlikely to be included in head coach Nate McMillan's rotation.
