The Cavaliers have “shown interest in an extension” with C Andre Drummond, per Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com.

Fantasy Impact

Drummond is expected to exercise his $28.75 million player option for the 2020-21 season. The Cavaliers are reportedly looking to sign Drummond to a long-term extension. “Both sides have shown interest an extension,” said Fedor. “But there’s so much to figure out before late October, when Drummond could technically sign a new deal.” Both parties have until October to work out a long-term deal, but for now expect Drummond to exercise his player option and play in Cleveland for the 2020-21 campaign. He averaged 17.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks across eight games for the Cavaliers before the season was suspended in March. Look for Drummond once again to go early in fantasy drafts next season.
