Report: Kendrick Perkins, Cavaliers Agree to Contract; Will Be on Playoff Roster

The Cleveland Cavaliers turned back the clock and signed veteran center Kendrick Perkins on Monday, according to Adrian Wojnarowski and Dave McMenamin of ESPN.

Wojnarowski noted Perkins will occupy Cleveland's final roster spot in the postseason after he played some of the 2017-18 campaign for the team's G League affiliate.

Perkins hasn't appeared in a regular-season NBA game since he was a member of the New Orleans Pelicans in 2015-16 when he averaged a mere 2.5 points and 3.5 rebounds a night in 37 contests.

However, Jake Fischer of Sports Illustrated reported in February that "several" teams were looking into potentially signing him for the stretch run of the 2017-18 campaign.
