NBA EXPERIENCE
Dylan Windler was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers with pick #26 in the 2019 NBA Draft.
After being drafted by Cleveland, he signed his rookie contract but was ruled out for the entire 2019-20 season in January 2020 due to a leg injury before playing a single game. Windler eventually made his NBA debut on December 23, 2020, where he recorded three points and two steals in a 121–114 win over the Charlotte Hornets. On February 23, 2021, he posted a career-high 15 points along with five rebounds in a narrow 112–111 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Windler spent the next few seasons with the Cavaliers but was plagued by injuries, limiting his overall impact.
