He is not expected to be drafted, but he has canceled workouts with teams who may be interested because he potentially has a two-way deal that allows a player to appear with an NBA team and its G-League affiliate, according to John Hollinger of The Athletic.
Livingston getting a promise would be a development; the scouts @KyleTucker_ATH and I talked to before the Combine were skeptical that he'd get more than a 2-way.https://t.co/pFHdkr1Ll0

According to reports, Livingston had a workout scheduled with the Cavs, who have a G-League affiliate also playing in Cleveland.
