2026-27 per-appearance projection
| GP | MPG | FG% | FT% | 3PM | PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

When Cleveland signed Enaruna to a two-way deal January 28, he had started 23 games for the Charge and averaged 19.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.4 steals in 30.8 minutes. Official Cavaliers release, January 28, 2026
Fantasy profile
- Role: two-way forward and emergency SF/PF. He receives zero minutes in the healthy Cleveland allocation; seven MPG is per appearance during call-ups.
- 9-cat: scoring and STL are the G League strengths, but his NBA projection has no draftable volume.
- Points leagues: no redraft use; monitor only if he receives a standard conversion and multiple rotation injuries occur.
- Dynasty: deep/taxi hold at most. His age and two-way status lower the ceiling relative to recent draft prospects.
Floor, base, ceiling
- Floor: nearly full G League season with no NBA fantasy footprint.
- Base: Charge starter and sporadic Cleveland appearances.
- Ceiling: a 15-18-minute reserve role after wing transactions, yielding deep-league points and steals.
Health and uncertainty
Enaruna missed three consecutive July Summer League games with illness; Cleveland's official July 18 fantasy note expected him for training camp. It was an acute status, not evidence of a long-term limitation. Cavaliers roster news, July 18, 2026

Durability: No injury history of note in college or the G League; the only recent absence is the three-game Summer League illness in July 2026, expected resolved by camp. Trajectory: The record shows a late developer — four modest high-major college seasons, a mid-major scoring surge, then a G League leap (11.0 to 20.3 PPG with across-the-board efficiency gains) that earned Most Improved Player and a two-way deal at 24. His nine NBA games were clean but tiny: efficient, low-usage, no blocks. In 2026-27 he competes to keep the two-way slot and serve as emergency wing depth behind Cleveland's rotation. He becomes fantasy-relevant only if he converts to a standard deal and multiple wing injuries hand him 15+ minutes, where his scoring and steals could stream in deep leagues.

Open questions
- Is he fully recovered for camp?
- Does Cleveland keep him on a two-way for the full season?
- Can his G League steals rate translate against NBA wings?
