Former Duke guard Tyrese Proctor, the No. 49 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, signed a multiyear contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, the team announced.

Proctor was a third-team All-ACC selection last season, averaging 12.4 points, three rebounds and 2.2 assists on 40.5% shooting from 3-point range in 38 games as a junior. He led the Blue Devils with 89 3-pointers, ranking third in the conference.

The 6-foot-5 Australian reportedly agreed to a four-year, $8.69 million contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The first two years are guaranteed on the contract, which includes a significant guarantee in the third year and a team option in the fourth year.

Proctor finished in double figures 26 times last season, including four 20-point performances. He produced a season-high 25 points and two assists on March 23 in a win over Baylor in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

The 21-year-old helped Duke qualify for the NCAA Tournament each year while with the program, including a run to the Final Four this year. He established himself as an impact player at both ends of the court, traits that stood out to the Cavaliers in the draft.

Proctor is expected to suit up with the Cavaliers for at least five games in the NBA Summer League, beginning on July 10 against the Indiana Pacers (5 p.m. EDT, NBA TV).
