Center Thon Maker is signing with the Cavaliers, according to Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype.
It’s a training-camp deal, according to Chris Fedor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Maker became an unrestricted free agent when the Pistons failed to extend him a qualifying offer. He’ll look to make a strong enough impression to gain a spot on Cleveland’s 15-man roster.
The 23-year-old appeared in 60 game last season for Detroit, averaging 4.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per contest. Maker began his career with the Bucks in 2016 after being selected with the 10th pick of the draft, but he never lived up to his lottery-pick status. Detroit acquired him midway through the 2018-19 season.
