March 13 (The Sports Xchange) - The Cleveland Cavaliers reached an agreement to sign free agent center Larry Sanders and waived center Andrew Bogut, the team announced Monday.
The defending NBA champions needed front-court depth after Bogut suffered a fractured tibia in his left leg just 58 seconds into his Cleveland debut last Monday against the Miami Heat.
Sanders' deal will cover the remainder of this season and likely include a guarantee trigger date for 2017-18, sources told The Vertical.
The Milwaukee Bucks drafted Sanders with the 15th overall pick in 2010. He spent five seasons with the Bucks (2010-11 to 2014-15), averaging 6.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.
