Cleveland Charge guard Killian Hayes has received All-NBA G League Second Team honors for the 2025-26 season, the league announced Thursday. The recognition comes after Hayes delivered a standout performance with Cleveland's G League affiliate before earning his return to the NBA.
Hayes appeared in 28 games for the Charge, posting impressive averages of 23.1 points on 46.8% shooting, 8.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.7 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest. The French guard demonstrated his scoring prowess and playmaking ability throughout the season, establishing himself as one of the G League's top performers.
The 23-year-old reached career milestones during his time with the Charge, including a 40-point outburst on November 28th and matching his career-high with 18 assists on two separate occasions. His consistent excellence earned him NBA G League Player of the Week honors for games played between December 19th and January 4th, during which Cleveland posted a perfect 4-0 record.
Hayes' dominant G League campaign ultimately led to an NBA call-up, with the Sacramento Kings signing the guard to a contract on February 23rd. His selection to the All-NBA G League Second Team recognizes his impact during his time with the Charge and underscores his development as a professional player.
The Cleveland Charge, operated by Rock Entertainment Group, serves as the G League affiliate of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers. Rock Entertainment Group oversees multiple sports properties including the Cavaliers, AHL's Cleveland Monsters, and operates both Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and the Cleveland Clinic Courts training facility.
