Okaro White with chance to make Cavaliers, still recovering mentally from broken foot

LAS VEGAS -- Okaro White has a real chance to earn a spot on the Cavaliers, but ask him about it and he'll talk instead of being frustrated about his foot.

White suffered a broken left foot in November and it totally derailed his season. He started four of the six games he played with the Miami Heat before the injury, and didn't see another minute in the NBA.

The Heat traded White to the Atlanta Hawks for Luke Babbitt on Feb. 8, and he was waived right away. The Cavs signed him to a 10-day contract, knowing he was not near ready to play in a game, and inked him two a two-year deal at the end of the regular season with a spot on the playoff roster to keep him in house.
