The Cavaliers are signing veteran forward Marcus Morris to a 10-day contract, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley was actually the first to report that Morris would sign on with Cleveland.
Morris was waived by the San Antonio Spurs at the end of last month.
The Philadelphia 76ers traded Morris to the Spurs as part of the three-team deal that sent Buddy Hield from the Indiana Pacers to the Sixers and Doug McDermott from the Spurs to the Pacers. San Antonio was always expected to part ways with Morris since the franchise is in rebuild mode.
Cleveland adding veteran depth to the frontcourt late in the regular season. Morris agreed to a contract buyout with the Spurs ahead of March 1 deadline and is playoff-eligible for the No. 3 seed Cavaliers. https://t.co/UgxqCWTrfn
