Tristan Thompson Rejoins Cavaliers on One-Year Deal

The veteran center returns to Cleveland for his 11th season after stints with multiple teams.

Thompson, 33, originally drafted by Cleveland in 2011, was part of the 2016 championship team.
He played for Boston, Sacramento, Indiana, Chicago, and the Lakers before returning to the Cavs last season.
Thompson averaged 3.3 points and 3.6 rebounds in 49 games last season.
His leadership is valued by the young Cavaliers team despite a decline in on-court productivity.
Thompson faced a 25-game suspension last season due to violating the NBA's anti-drug policy.
