Myles Garrett loves football, but he is also really good at playing basketball. Now, he has both of them by his side.
The Cleveland Browns defensive end officially purchased a minority stake in the Cleveland Cavaliers, the NBA team announced this week.
Garrett will also serve as a brand ambassador for the Cavaliers.
“I have admired the Cavaliers organization’s hard work, tenacity, and dedication to the community since my early days in Cleveland,” Garrett said in a statement. “To have this opportunity to join this impressive and purpose-filled franchise, under [owner Dan Gilbert’s] leadership, is truly a dream come true.”
As a fan, Garrett has appeared at the Las Vegas Summer League, and he even played in the 2022 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Cleveland so the interest was always there.
It’s been a good week for Garrett, as he was also named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week after his performance against the Indianapolis Colts. It’s the third time Garrett has been honored as Defensive Player of the Week.

Garrett had two sacks, resulting in fumbles by Indianapolis quarterback Gardner Minshew II. He also blocked a field goal.
The Browns are coming off their first road win of the season after they beat the Colts 39-38 in Indianapolis. Cleveland improved to 4-2 on the year.
Garrett was selected by the Browns with the No. 1 overall pick in 2017 out of Texas A&M. The four-time Pro Bowler has spent his entire career in Cleveland.
