Cavaliers' Andrew Bogut: Expects to make team debut Monday

Bogut officially signed by the Cavaliers on Thursday, but won't make his team debut until Monday against the Heat, Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports.

Analysis:

It appears coach Tyronn Lue doesn't want to throw Bogut into the rotation until after having the veteran center go through practice Sunday, so Bogut will sit out Friday's game against the Hawks and Saturday's game against the Heat. Once he has an opportunity to get integrated with his new team, Bogut is expected to slot in as the primary backup to starting center Tristan Thompson, a role that should afford him 15-to-20 minutes per game.
