CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed guard Jordan McRae to a 10-day contract, Cavaliers General Manager David Griffin announced this week. The signing of former Liberty County Panther also marks the 22nd Gatorade Call-Up of the NBA’s 2015-16 season.

Against the Canton Charge on Jan. 26, he scored a D-League record 61 points on 21-of-34 (.618) shooting from the field, to go along with 11 rebounds and seven assists in 46 minutes.
