CLEVELAND, OH – The Cleveland Charge of the NBA G League, downtown Cleveland’s newest professional sports team playing home games at Cleveland State University’s Wolstein Center, have released their full 15-man training camp roster for the 2021-22 NBA G League season.

The roster consists of two Two-Way Players, three affiliate players, three from local tryouts, two acquired via trade, two returning players, and three selected in today’s NBA G League draft.  The team will begin their training camp at Cleveland Clinic Courts in Independence, OH on Monday.
