CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Kendrick Perkins has played in exactly one NBA game in the last two years, yet in April the Cavaliers gave him a contract that could be worth $2.44 million next season.
Perkins, 33, signed with the Cavs on the final day of the 2018 regular season and played that night against the Knicks. He's here to fill out the roster for the playoffs and to offer a veteran voice in the locker room and on the sideline.
But the Cavs view Perkins, who in his heyday was a rugged center, as having added value.
