NBA professional basketball team season
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2019β20 Cleveland Cavaliers season was the 50th season of the franchise in the
National Basketball Association (NBA). The Cavaliers replaced
Larry Drew ,
[1] with former
Michigan Wolverines men's basketball coach
John Beilein on May 13.
[2]
On February 19, 2020, after beginning the season with a 14β40 record, Beilein resigned as head coach after only 54 games at the helm.
J. B. Bickerstaff , who served as an assistant coach and associate head coach, was named head coach.
[3]
[4]
The
season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11
[5] after it was reported that
Rudy Gobert of the
Utah Jazz tested positive for
COVID-19 .
[6] On June 4, it was announced that the NBA had approved a return to play for 22 teams in the
NBA Bubble . The Cavaliers, with the league's second-worst record at the time of the season's suspension, were not among them, effectively ending the team's season. The Cavaliers finished with a 19β46 record, which is the equivalent of a 24β58 record in a traditional 82-game season.
Draft
The Cavaliers held two first-round draft picks, including the fifth pick earned from the lottery.
[7] With the fifth pick of the draft, the Cavaliers selected point guard
Darius Garland from
Vanderbilt University .
