Luke Travers

After two years in the NBA with the Cleveland Cavaliers, 24-year-old Australian star Luke Travers is set to return to Melbourne United on a new two-year agreement.

One of Australia’s most coveted and versatile players, Travers comes back to United with 24 games of NBA experience, as well as 36 appearances in the NBA G League.

The 2022 NBA Draft Pick filled the stat sheet over the course of his two seasons with the Cleveland Charge, averaging 17 points, 9.6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

Standing 198cm with the ability to handle the ball, attack the rim, block shots and lock down opposing perimeter players, while continuing to develop as an outside shooter, Travers looks set to shine across the Hungry Jack’s NBL27 season.

As a Development Player, Travers helped the Perth Wildcats win an NBL Championship in NBL20, as well as the NBL Cup in NBL21.

In the modern 40-minute era of the NBL, Travers is one of only eight local players to have averaged at least one block and one steal across an entire season. He also holds the NBL record for the most ever total blocks in an NBL Championship Series (14).
