\nCLEVELAND, OH\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Cleveland Charge F Tristan Enaruna has been named the 2025-26 Kia NBA G League Most Improved Player, the League office announced today. \u00a0The award is given as the result of a vote of the 30 team head coaches and general managers.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis award is a huge testament to the daily work Tristan puts in, how intentional he\u2019s been with his development, and the growing confidence he continues to play with,\u201d said Charge Head Coach Eli Kell-Abrams.\u00a0 \u201cWe could not be happier for T and we are excited for him to continue to grow during a long and successful career in this game.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nEnaruna played in 38 total games this season and averaged 20.3 points on .548 shooting with 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.\u00a0 He earned an NBA Call-Up with the Cleveland Cavaliers as a two-way player on January 28.\n<\/p>\n

\nTristan has nearly doubled his scoring average from last season (11.0 ppg to 20.3 ppg) while improving his shooting efficiency (51.8% to 62.0%), overall field goal percentage (46.6% to 54.8%), three point percentage (29.2% to 37.2%), and free-throw percentage (58.8% to 75.0%).\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
