1.98 m Cheatham's limited NBA appearances saw him play in just five games during the 2019-20 and 2021-22 seasons, where he averaged 2.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 11 minutes of playtime.

However, the 27-year-old forward has been showing his skills on the court with the New Orleans Pelicans' affiliate team, the Birmingham Squadron, where he has been averaging 14.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in the G League this season.

In the 2021-22 season, he maintained an average of a double-double with 14.1 points and 10.6 rebounds per game.

Currently ranking 15th in the EuroLeague with nine wins in 25 games, Bayern is in need of reinforcements after Augustine Rubit was ruled out for the season due to an Achilles injury.
