The Cleveland Cavaliers have reached an agreement to trade Hunter to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, according to reports from ESPN. The transaction was first reported by Shams Charania via the ESPN App.
The Cavaliers acquire Schroder, a veteran point guard known for his playmaking and defensive intensity, alongside Ellis, a young guard who has shown flashes of two-way potential. In exchange, the Kings land Hunter, adding size and wing depth to their roster as they continue to compete in the Western Conference.
This move marks a significant roster adjustment for both franchises. Schroder brings significant NBA experience to Cleveland's backcourt, while Hunter provides Sacramento with a versatile forward capable of defending multiple positions. The inclusion of Ellis gives the Cavaliers a developmental piece with immediate rotational value.
Official confirmation from both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Sacramento Kings is expected following the completion of standard physical examinations. There has been no immediate word on whether draft compensation or additional cash considerations are included in the package.
