News summary

Tristan Thompson has agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking his 11th season with the franchise. The 33-year-old center, who was originally drafted by the Cavs in 2011 and was part of the team's 2016 championship roster, will likely earn close to $3.3 million on this contract. His return follows a 25-game suspension last season for violating the league's anti-drug policy, which he has taken accountability for. Although his on-court production has declined—averaging just 3.3 points and 3.6 rebounds last season—Thompson is valued for his leadership on a young team. The Cavaliers are looking to bolster their roster depth at the center position behind Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Thompson's reintegration into the team will be closely watched as he seeks to make a positive impact in the upcoming season.
