Cavaliers sign forward Larry Sanders, waive Andrew Bogut

CLEVELAND — Larry Sanders walked away from the NBA. He's coming back to a team that needs his help.

Sanders, who left the league two years ago after five seasons with Milwaukee, signed Monday with the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers.

The 6-foot-11 shot blocker brings some needed frontcourt depth to the struggling NBA champions, who are just 2-5 in March and have been giving up way too many easy baskets.

The Cavs have been in the market for a big man since Andrew Bogut broke his left leg just 58 seconds into his debut with Cleveland last week.
