He finished with one missed shot in three minutes and a foul in Cleveland’s 123-114 win. This is his second time being pulled up to the big leagues from Cleveland’s G-League team, the Canton Charge. Perrantes signed a two-way contract with the Charge/Cavaliers midway through October which gives him the ability to be called up to the NBA for a maximum of 45 days over the course of the season.
Perrantes has been playing well with the Charge, averaging 14.3 points, 6.9 assists, 2.1 rebounds, and one steal per game. He put up an impressive 27 points and six assists against the Greensboro Swarm in late November.
Congrats, London!
