Cleveland Cavaliers have signed a free agency center Larry Sanders and waived their center Andrew Bogut, an announcement from the team revealed this news. In the other end, Andre Iguodala has been fined $10,000 by the NBA for his post-match racial comments following Warriors' close 103-102 loss to Minnesota Timberwolves last Friday.
The Cavaliers needed a front-court depth after Bogut suffered a fractures tibia in his left leg just 58 seconds after his debut for Cavaliers against Miami Heat last Monday. Sanders' capture will give some stability, his deal will cover the remainder of season and also likely to include a trigger date for 2017-18.
The Milwaukee Bucks drafted Sanders with the 15th overall pick back in 2010. He spent five seasons with the Bucks with an average of 6.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.
In the Iguodala being fined news, Warriors coach Steven Kerr rested the player with stars Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs, Iguodala responded to this news by saying he follows what the coach says. Maybe his racial tone comments post match after the loss to Minnesota last Friday was key to it.
In the other latest news of NBA, Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons, who already has played very limited games due to his right knee issues was seen diagonised with a partial tear of the meniscus in his left knee, he will be probably be out for indefinitely, the news was announced by the team on Monday.
Parsons was a player who signed a four-year, $94 million deal with the Grizzlies during NBA off-season. He has an average of 6.2 points and shooting 33.8% in 34 games he has played. He was with Dallas last season and averaged 13.7 points during his time there and shot 49.2% in 61 games. Probably the knee injuries will tire him down from becoming one of the better players.
