Browns’ defensive end Myles Garrett showed up to the Cavs’ summer league game in his own personalized jersey on Sunday.

He then participated in the team’s warm-up and he started to throw down some dunks.

Not only did Garrett dunk the ball a few times, but he also worked on his jump shot while he was there.

After his workout was done, Garrett changed out of his uniform and he sat courtside by Cavs’ all-star Darius Garland.
Garland had this to say about Garrett and how much he supports Cleveland:
“Super cool to see the whole city of Cleveland interacting with each other. They all support us. We support them.
Myles Garrett has been connected to basketball in the past, even going as far as playing Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah in a one-on-one. Obviously, Garrett said he won. And if he did win, it makes it even more impressive because he was playing in socks. And in this video, it looks like he’s telling the truth.

Even though coach Stefanski said that Garret would be retired from basketball, that didn’t stop him from playing in the NBA celebrity all-star game this past year or playing in that one-on-one.
Him showing up at the game has fans wanting him to actually play in a game. But, that is very unlikely to happen.
Even if he actually wanted to, the Browns probably would’ve had something to say about that. Garrett is a great athlete, but it wouldn’t be smart on both sides to be risking an injury with the NFL season coming up.
The Browns have visited the Cavaliers’ facility in the past, and it looks like it could happen again. Both sides seem to cross paths quite often, so maybe members of the Cavaliers could show up to a Browns’ team practice at some point.
