It’s understood the 36ers are pursuing a multi-year deal for their star forward, who is firmly in the mix for an All-NBL First Team selection.
Cheatham is averaging 12.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 4.3 assists, and currently sits second in the league in rebounding.
With Bryce Cotton, Dejan Vasiljevic and Isaac Humphries already locked in for next season, securing Cheatham would significantly strengthen Adelaide’s push to build a long-term contender.
The 36ers sit on top of the NBL ladder heading into a blockbuster clash with Melbourne United on Friday night.
