Cavs lose shooting guard in early hours of free agency

The Brooklyn Nets and Keon Ellis have reached a contract agreement, marking the guard's move in NBA free agency. The Cleveland Cavaliers expected Ellis' departure due to a bloated salary cap situation, other planned summertime business, and an already crowded depth chart. The former Alabama player leaves the Cavaliers as the team manages its financial constraints and roster depth, while Ellis secures a new deal to join the Nets' roster for the upcoming season.
