Turning 33-years-old in September, the Australian guard will be leaving the NBA to once again <a href="https://nbl.com.au/news/united-secures-return-of-aussie-great" rel="noopener">play for Melbourne United</a> in the NBL.</p><p>“I’m really excited to be coming back to Melbourne United,” Dellavedova said, per the team’s press release. “I want to come back and win a Championship here. It’s a great club that has a really strong culture and I’m happy to be back a part of it.”</p><p>Spending the 2021-22 season with Melbourne, Dellavedova decided to make a one-year return to the NBA to be a veteran presence for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-mike-brown-wins-coach-of-the-year-award-after-snapping-16-year-playoff-drought" rel="noopener">Mike Brown</a> and the Kings. His role was limited, but the veteran guard proved to be a valuable asset in the locker room during the team’s historic 48-34 season. Playing for Brown when he coached Cleveland during Dellavedova’s rookie season played a factor in him joining Sacramento this past season.</p><p>Dellavedova has rejoined Melbourne on a new two-year deal and has his <a href="https://www.espn.com/nbl/story/_/id/37659939/nbl-matthew-dellavedova-returning-melbourne-united" rel="noopener">sights set</a> on participating in the 2024 Summer Olympics for Australia, as he told ESPN recently that playing in both the World Cup and Olympics is a goal of his.</p><p>Over the span of his nine seasons in the NBA, Dellavedova made a name for himself by being a tough-minded defender. He spent the first three seasons of his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, proving to be a key role player during their title run in 2016. From there, he would go on to play for the Milwaukee Bucks for two-and-a-half seasons before once again playing for the Cavaliers.</p><p>For his career, Dellavedova has recorded averages of 5.2 points and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 36.3 percent from three-point range.</p><p>“There are so many things that Delly brings to the table,” Melbourne United head coach Dean Vickerman said of the veteran guard. “The way he assesses the game, his total understanding of how to run a team, is unmatched, and we think he can bring that from either guard position.”</p><p>A well-respected presence on every team he has been a part of, Dellavedova will likely finish his basketball career overseas in Australia.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 6-foot-3 point guard parts ways with the Cavs after six seasons on two separate stints.</p><p>Dellavedova joined the Cavs as an undrafted rookie in 2013. He was part of the LeBron James-led 2016 side that historically won the NBA title over the Golden State Warriors.</p><p>After that memorable season, the Cavs traded Dellavedova to the Milwaukee Bucks, where he spent the next three years of his career. He then re-joined the Cavs as a free agent in 2018. Delly’s current deal expired at the end of the 2020-21 campaign which made him an unrestricted free agent. Cleveland decided not to offer him a new contract, and he also wasn’t able to secure a new deal with any other team in the NBA. This led to his decision to head back home to Australia to join the domestic league.</p><p>Dellavedova holds career averages with the Cavs of <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/dellama01.html#all_per_game-playoffs_per_game">5.3 points</a>, 1.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists.

However, as Matthew Dellavedova found out Thursday, he’s also more than willing to lower his shoulder and drop whoever might be standing in his way.</p><p>Chef Curry will gladly <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSWarriors/status/1382875207497510914?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1382875207497510914%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1098609action%3Dedit">toss you</a> out of the kitchen (Video via NBC Sports):</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="it">STEPH DROPPED DELLAVEDOVA 😱 <a href="https://t.co/CBag59Q9LL" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/CBag59Q9LL</a></p><p>— Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSWarriors/status/1382875207497510914?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">April 16, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>With the Warriors looking to withstand a late third-quarter push by the beleaguered Cleveland Cavaliers squad, Curry pushed the tempo following a midrange bucket by Taurean Prince. Hoping to preempt a potential drive from the Warriors point guard, Dellavedova met Curry just behind the arc, looking to use his upper-body strength to push the former-MVP off course and deny him an angle towards the interior. Unfortunately for Delly, Steph is a lot stronger than he looks.</p><p>Not only did Curry get the better of their collision in the midrange–sending the Cavs guard flying towards the baseline–but Steph promptly recovered and reversed course back out towards the arc, firing a dagger three-point shot that extended the Warriors lead back to double-digits.</p><p>Not only did the sequence help pace the Warriors to a victory over Cleveland Thursday night, but it was yet another example of the type of heroics Steph has displayed as of late. Over the past eight contests entering their game against the Cavaliers, Curry has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/golden-state-warriors/stats">averaged</a> over 38 points per game, on 55% shooting from the field, and 49% from three, a staggering performance that has catapulted him back into MVP consideration.</p><p>As Dellavedova can tell you, Steph continues to find new ways to embarrass opponents.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Upon both of their awaited returns, Love <a href="https://www.basketballnews.com/stories/return-of-love-dellavedova-gives-cavs-hope-for-playoff-push">spoke about the impact</a> that Dellavedova has on the Cavaliers.</p><p>During a conversation about Dellavedova, Love pinpointed the veteran point guard as the ‘lifeblood of the team’. After a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, J.B. Bickerstaff also shared his thoughts on Dellavedova returning to the lineup to aid the team moving forward.</p><blockquote>“It just goes to show you his commitment, his dedication, but what intelligence can bring to the game,” Bickerstaff said, via the Associated Press. “His mind wasn’t off for 13 months. When you play the way that he plays and you think the game that way that he thinks it, you can have an impact. Toughness on the defensive end, leadership, he’s always a bonus.</blockquote><p>Due to a myriad of injuries, Dellavedova made his <a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-matthew-dellavedova-forecast-will-get-cleveland-fans-excited/">season debut</a> on Thursday, logging 16 minutes for the Cavaliers. While he didn’t record a single point, he dished out five assists, and he made a few efforts plays that were appreciated by his head coach.</p><p>Though, it should be noted that Dellavedova was with the Milwaukee Bucks for a couple of seasons before landing back with Cleveland. Love and Dellavedova remain as the only two players remaining from the 2016 NBA Championship team on the Cavaliers. Nevertheless, it’s apparent that Love and other members of the Cavaliers believe Dellavedova is a key contributor to the team, whether he’s notching numbers in the box score or not.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He scored eight points with eight assists in 34 minutes for the Cavs in a five-point loss at Chicago.</p><p>The coronavirus pandemic wasn’t a thing. The former St. Mary’s Gaels’ star was healthy. And the Maryborough, Australia native was a key part of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/stats">Cavs rotation</a>.</p><p>A year later — following a concussion, an appendectomy and personal recovery — “Delly” could be close to his season debut.</p><p>In an interview with the Associated Press, Cavs’ coach J.B. Bickerstaff said the popular 30-year-old point guard <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2021/03/31/cavs-hopeful-dellavedova-will-make-long-delayed-season-debut/43489811/">practiced on Wednesday</a>, meaning his first availability will be Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers.</p><blockquote>“My expectation is hopeful that there will be a Delly sighting tomorrow,” Bickerstaff to the AP.</blockquote><p>At 17-30 and 13th in the Eastern Conference standings, the Cavs aren’t exactly in contending shape at the moment, but that could change. Two of the<a href="http://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-collin-sexton-admits-he-is-starting-to-embrace-sexland-nickname/"> brighter young point guards in the league</a> — Collin Sexton and Darius Garland — are having exceptional seasons, with Sexton slashing for 23.9 ppg on 47.6/37.4/80.3 and Garland gashing for 16.6 ppg on 44.0/39.9/83.5.</p><p>But Garland (21) and Sexton (22) are both quite young, and Dellavedova (30) can bring needed depth and experience to the rotation, as a seven-year veteran of the NBA. He’s played in more than 400 games and averaged more than five points and three assists his entire tenure, and alongside forward Kevin Love is the only Cavs player remaining from the 2016 NBA Championship squad.</p><blockquote>“Delly is a guy that is going to do whatever the team needs,” Sexton told the AP. “If that’s to go lock someone up or play 94 (feet), he’s going to do it. Delly is coming in and being that vocal leader and that vet that we need. … With Delly coming back we know what to expect pretty much.”</blockquote><p>“Delly” can carve it up at times, too. On March 26, 2013, he had a career-best 21 points in a win at Detroit.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have shown a tremendous amount of support for Dellavedova throughout the past years. As the months go by, the situation seems <a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-after-guarding-kawhi-leonard-newest-cavalier-lamar-stevens-reveals-text-from-grandma/">to have gotten worse</a> for Dellavedova, possibly forcing him to retire from the Cavs sooner than he would imagine. </p><p>Dellavedova is a competitor. He loves to go out on the floor and make the hustle plays necessary for the Cavs to pull out victories. With the great start that the team has gotten out to, the presence of Dellavedova has been missed. Dellavedova is amongst one of the NBA’s top on ball defenders. He provides a spark on that end of the floor, which often results in easy transition points for Cleveland on the other end. </p><p>The Cavs have recently discussed the status of Dellavedova and whether he will have an opportunity ito play this season. Head Coach JB Bickertaff addressed the situation. </p><p>“He’s taking steps, but they’re small steps” Bickerstaff stated during an interview with Cavs reporters. </p><p>Delly’s head coach and teammates are eager to have the Australian defensive stopper return to the floor. If things go in the right direction, the return could emerge before the season ends, though anything before the March 7 All-Star Game in Atlanta is highly unlikely for the Cavs’ fan favorite. </p><p>If things come down to Dellavedova not returning, it was a magical run he was on with the Cavs, beginning with his tenacious defense which electrified Cleveland fans and provided the blue-collar work ethic people love in pro athletes. </p><p>Having played alongside LeBron James in the NBA Finals, Dellavedova has evolved tremendously as an overall player on both ends. He even could show to be a huge piece in the Cavs’ success this season. Taking one step at a time, the fans will anticipate Dellavedova returning from his concussion. . </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The deal is for one year at the minimum, <a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1330977363757326336" rel="noopener noreferrer">per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. </a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheSteinLine/status/1330979105915895808" rel="noopener noreferrer">The New York Times’ Marc Stein says</a> the Los Angeles Lakers gave Dellavedova some consideration, but the Aussie has decided to return to Cleveland.</p><p>Dellavedova is a fan favorite in Cleveland and was part of the 2016 championship team.</p><p>Matthew Dellavedova appeared in 57 games for the Cavs in 2019-20 before the season was suspended in March due to COVID-19. He averaged 3.1 points and 3.2 assists while shooting 35.4 percent from the field, 23.1 percent from beyond the arc and 86.5 percent from the free-throw line.</p><p>In 434 NBA games with the Cavs and Milwaukee Bucks, Dellavedova has career averages of 5.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting 38.9 percent from the floor, 36.8 percent from beyond the 3-point line and 83.8 percent from the charity stripe.</p><p>The Cavs racked up the worst record in the Eastern Conference last season. The team had the fifth overall pick in the 2020 draft and selected Isaac Okoro from Auburn. The youngster put up 12.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in college, and <a href="http://cavsnation.com/how-isaac-okoro-helps-the-cavs/" rel="noopener noreferrer">he should provide a boost on the wing.</a></p><p>Cleveland still has All-Star power forward Kevin Love on the roster. It makes sense for the Cavs to trade Love to a contender since they are in rebuild mode in the second post-LeBron James era.</p><p>However, Love is believed to not have a big trade market right now.</p><p>Barring a miracle, the Cavs are likely going to be terrible again in 2020-21. Although they did acquire JaVale McGee from the Los Angeles Lakers to replace Tristan Thompson — who signed with the Boston Celtics — the roster in Cleveland is still really flawed from top to bottom.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His gritty style of play is endearing, but will the Australian-born point guard be wearing Wine and Gold in the coming season?</p><p>“Delly,” as he’s come to be known, returned to the Cavs in December of 2018 as part of a three-team trade with the Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards. As a sign of their appreciation, the crowd inside Rocket Mortgagee Fieldhouse roared when he made his first return to the court.</p><p>It’s true that Dellavedova has become a fan favorite in Cleveland, but is he interested in staying with the Cavs? And furthermore, are the Cavs interested in having him back for another go?</p><p>According to a recent assessment from Chris Fedor of cleveland.com, the Cavs will indeed be looking to bring Delly back into the fold:</p><blockquote><a href="https://player.fm/series/wine-and-gold-talk-podcast/thoughts-about-michael-jordans-jumpman-logo-on-a-cavaliers-jersey-and-howif-they-should-use-the-mid-level-exception-wine-and-gold-talk-podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chris Fedor</a>: I think the Cavs want Delly back. Delly is not going to have a huge market. This free agency is going to be wild to begin with. A lot of these guys are going to push for one-year deals so that they can get back into free agency in 2021. And I don’t think there are enough NBA teams that view Delly as a clear cut backup point guard.</blockquote><p>Dellavedova, who’s set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2020-21, earned a total of <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/matthew-dellavedova-13478/" rel="noopener noreferrer">$9.6 million</a> last season. His contract with the Cavs ended up being a one-year variant, worth $1.2 million It’s not clear what sort of offer he might receive from Cleveland this time around, though, as the coronavirus pandemic has thrown a proverbial wrench right in the NBA’s financial engine.</p><p>Perhaps Delly will seek another short-term deal, as Fedor noted.</p><p>In his 57 appearances with the Cavs this season, Dellavedova racked up averages of <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/dellama01.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">3.1 points</a> on 35.4 percent shooting from the field (23.1 percent from beyond the arc), 3.2 assists and 1.3 rebounds. For the most part, he played a backup role behind first and second-year point guards, Darius Garland and Collin Sexton.</p><p>Though his numbers are not all that impressive, the Cavs should still consider keeping Delly aboard. He’s a vocal leader, and he’s always ready when called on. Let’s see if the team feels the same way.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-57567745-1', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Cavs guard recorded a career-high 14 assists starting in place of the injured Darius Garland, and he also hit a clutch 3-pointer to finish with seven points and also six rebounds in a stellar all-around effort.</p><p>Dellavedova was coming off a wretched performance in a loss to the Boston Celtics in which he missed all eight of his field goal attempts. He’s shooting just 34.8% overall and 20.5% on 3-pointers this season, with that 3-point percentage well below his career mark of 36.7%. Delly may be feeling the pressure of still trying to prove he belongs in the NBA, but Cavs veteran big man Tristan Thompson doesn’t think the guard has to prove anything and made it a point to bring that up after Saturday’s win.</p><p><a href="https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2020/03/matthew-dellavedova-constantly-fighting-to-prove-he-belongs-even-as-teammates-gas-him-up.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">Via Chris Fedor of cleveland.com:</a></p><blockquote>“You don’t have to prove s—,” Thompson said. “Know what you do. You can always play in this league. As long as you want. Can always play on my team.”</blockquote><p>Dellavedova appreciated the “gas” from Thompson, who knows firsthand just how much Delly means to Cleveland. The two were on the 2016 title team, with Dellavedova playing a key role off the bench with his shooting and defense.</p><p>Dellavedova became something of a cult hero to start his career thanks to his grit and ability to make key plays. While his career has taken a downturn of late, the 29-year-old showed he can still make a positive impact when he’s playing well, something Thompson knows all too well.</p><p>The Cavs moved to 18-45 on the season with their win over Denver. Cleveland has earned wins over quality teams in the Nuggets, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat since J.B. Bickerstaff took over as head coach.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-57567745-1', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 66-year-old grizzled tactician expressed his excitement to have Exum on board, shortly after the Cavs’ 97-117 defeat at Scotiabank Arena on New Year’s Eve. Beilein was particularly pleased with his newly formed Aussie backcourt of Exum and Matthew Dellavedova.</p><blockquote>“Our bench is playing really well and we are trying to get used to each other and figure out the best way to play together,” Beilein said post-game, per <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/sport/basketball/cleveland-like-look-of-delly-exum-combination-20200101-p53o45.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">Roy Ward of the Sydney Morning Herald</a>.“With the Australian backcourt [Dellavedova and Exum], they did a good job for us in the second half but we just buried ourselves with what we did in the first half.</blockquote><p>Exum and Dellavedova suited up for 15 minutes each on Tuesday and only had a combined eight points, but their grit and toughness against the defending champions impressed Beilein despite the loss.</p><p>Exum is slowly integrating himself to the Cavs’ system, averaging 7.3 points on 50.0 percent shooting from the field and 25.0 percent from three in his first three games in Cleveland.

In an interview with <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/life-and-culture/g66l-2019/10/12a1b2603e5174/cavs-matthew-dellavedova-scrappy-like-our-town-predicts-good-things-in-season-starting-wednesday-my-cleveland.html">Grant Segall of cleveland.com</a>, Dellavedova acknowledges the difference in the team’s dynamics without LeBron James. Last year, the Cavs won just 19 games. For this year’s campaign, he believes that they’re starting to mesh well as a team. Coupled with their new young additions, the Australian is confident of the team’s chances this time around.</p><blockquote>Yes, Obviously, without Lebron here, it’s been a little different. `But, with the chemistry that we’re starting to build up in the last year, we’ll try to continue that this year while adding in new pieces.We’ve got some exciting rookies, and the new coach has been bringing a lot of energy and positivity and attention to detail. He really likes to teach. Having a younger team, that’s going to be important.I’m looking forward to us as a team winning a lot more games.</blockquote><p>The 2019-20 season is Dellavedova’s second year in his second stint with the Cavs. To recall, he spent his first three years in the league donning the wine gold jersey. He was a critical part of NBA Finals run from 2014 to 2016 — which included their 3-1 comeback against the 73-win Golden State Warriors squad to win the title.</p><p>Dellavedova, who was once a scrappy young guard, is now seen as one of the team’s veterans. He still plays with all-out energy but fans can expect him to serve as a mentor to young guards Collin Sexton and Darius Garland.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-57567745-1', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
