The Cleveland Cavaliers have reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with center Robin Lopez.

Lopez will provide some nice depth in the frontcourt behind Jarrett Allen, who missed some time last season due to injury.

The 34-year-old Lopez spent last season with the Orlando Magic and averaged 7.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while making 55.3 percent of his shots from the field.

The Cavs will be Lopez’s ninth team in the NBA. Cleveland is hoping to make it to the playoffs in the 2022-23 season after losing back-to-back games in the play-in tournament last season.
