Dellavedova only played in 13 games this season with the Cavaliers after dealing with concussion-like symptoms for much of the season. He missed the first 47 games due to that, and then missed the final 12 games of the season due to a neck strain. While on the court, Dellavedova averaged 2.8 points per game in 17.2 minutes for the Cavaliers this season.
The 30-year-old has spent eight seasons in the NBA, with parts of six of them coming with the Cavaliers.
