Cavaliers sign former Celtics fan favorite Tacko Fall to one-year deal

Celtics fans will have to wait for the Cavaliers to visit Boston before chanting for Tacko Fall to enter the game next season.

Fall, a 7-foot-5 center and a fan favorite at TD Garden, reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with the Cavaliers on Tuesday. He spent two seasons with the Celtics, both on two-way deals that sent him bouncing between Boston and Maine where he played for the Red Claws.

While Fall never spent much time on the floor in Boston, he showed some flashes — particularly in Maine — as a big man who could play drop coverage defense and protect the rim.
