Former Cavaliers and Cleveland Charge point guard Sharife Cooper has signed with Turkish club Yukatel Merkezefendi Belediyesi, per the RealGM transactions log.
Cooper will be spending the remainder of the season with the Liaoning Flying Leopards. Sharife Cooper will join the Liaoning Flying Leopards of the Chinese Basketball Association according to his agency Lift Sports Management.
Cooper’s brief time with the Cavs reinforced his belief in himself and his goal of being on an NBA roster. Sharife Cooper played one of his best games of the season in the Cleveland Charge’s win Friday night against the Raptors 905.
Sharife Cooper was selected with the No. 48 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Since then, he hasn’t stopped fighting for a consistent spot on an NBA roster.
The Charge overcame a 21-point deficit to win a thriller. This night did not start as planned. The Cleveland Charge quickly found themselves behind by double-digits as the Long Island Nets put together a 48-point opening quarter.
The New York Knicks inevitably will be linked with big names in trade rumors now that the NBA Finals have ended, but those running the organization must first concern themselves with the draft that takes place July 29.
