The Cleveland Cavaliers signed center Larry Sanders after releasing Andrew Bogut back on March 13th. The Cavs had high hopes for the shot-blocking big man, but his time in the NBA D-League and his brief time with the team wasn’t enough to secure his spot on the playoff roster.
According to Shams Charania of The Vertical, the Cavs are releasing Sanders in order to free up a roster spot.

Sanders played just five games for the Cavaliers since signing in mid-March, accumulating four points, four rebounds, a steal and a block.
The Cavs will likely attempt to sign a center with their open roster spot by Wednesday.
