The Cleveland Cavaliers will sign veteran center Kendrick Perkins to fill their final roster spot ahead of the playoffs, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Dave McMenamin.
Perkins, 33, hasn't played an NBA game since 2015-16 with the New Orleans Pelicans. He spent time with the Cavs' G League affiliate this season, but left the team in February amid rumors he would join the big club.
That didn't materialize, but it now appears that Perkins will join the Cavs' bench. LeBron James opined in 2015 that the big man brought "championship DNA" to Cleveland's locker room.
