The University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, where McKinnie played his collegiate basketball, has congratulated him for his contract through Twitter:

McKinnie has averaged 4.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in his NBA career, making stops with the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors prior to landing with the Cavs.
McKinnie’s signing will hope to add depth to a Cavaliers squad that made the move to acquire center Andre Drummond at the trade deadline, as the Cleveland Cavaliers currently sit last-place in the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 13-40.
